Letters & packages

How to send letters & packages

Brazil's customs taxes on international packages are high and delays long; many families avoid packages or send only small items after asking the mission office.

  • Your missionary can email weekly on P-day (preparation day: their weekly day for errands, letters and rest); letters and packages are optional extras.
  • Confirm the current mailing address with the mission office or the call packet before sending — offices move.
  • Small, padded envelopes usually travel faster and cheaper than boxes; declare contents honestly and avoid restricted items.
