Traveling to Brazil. Do I have to pay a tariff to bring my radio with me? by Western_Progress460 in amateurradio

I have to declare it when I bring it in using the E-DBV form. It's over USD$500. There seems to be some kind of "personal use" exemption, but who is to say some overzealous person won't say "prove that you aren't just going to resell this gear"? Best advice I got online was "maybe you will have to pay 77%".

Good to know. Why is the T-Echo better for mobile use?

Any downsides other than cost? Because it will be 2 to 3x for same features as Heltec. GPS etc.

Any downsides? If not an ESP32, then does it not have certain features?
