Alibaba's domestic wholesale arm — where your local reseller buys. Get a free Chinese address, order as a local customer would, combine several orders into one shipment, and we forward it to Brazil.
1688 is built for buyers inside China. Sellers price delivery within the country and there is no international option to select on the listing.
Ordering from six suppliers means six deliveries. Paying international freight six times destroys the wholesale price advantage that brought you here.
Chinese interface, Chinese address format, Alipay and WeChat Pay. None of that is a barrier you can talk past at checkout — it is what the site is.
A real local address at checkout is all that stands between you and that cart.
Resendify gives you a real local address at our warehouses. Shop where the deals are, we collect, repack and forward — you stay in control the whole way.
Pick a warehouse in Spain, Germany, the UK or the US. We assign you a real street address — yours within minutes.
Use your Resendify address at checkout — Amazon DE, Zara, Decathlon, eBay, anywhere. Even sellers that don't ship abroad.
Photos on arrival, optional repacking, and consolidation of multiple orders into one shipment to save up to 70%.
Pick your courier and track door-to-door. Email alerts on every tracking update.
Create your account and your receiving address is ready in minutes.
1688 is Alibaba's domestic wholesale platform, and it is the source behind a very large share of what gets resold on AliExpress, on Amazon and in your local shops. The prices are the ones a Chinese wholesaler pays, because that is who the site is for. It is not a consumer marketplace with cheap prices; it is the layer underneath.
That also explains every friction you will meet. The interface is Chinese, sellers quote domestic shipping only, payment runs on Alipay and WeChat Pay, and many listings carry a minimum order quantity — sometimes a handful of units, sometimes a carton. A receiving address in China is what makes the domestic-only part solvable; the rest you plan around.
So be clear about what 1688 is good for. If you want one of something, buy it elsewhere: the MOQs and the seller communication are not worth it.
If you are buying a run of the same item — for a small business, a market stall, an online shop, a workshop, a hobby that consumes materials — this is where the price gap is large enough to change what is viable. Buy from several suppliers, let them all deliver to the warehouse, and forward the lot as one shipment. That last step is not optional here: wholesale means many boxes.
For Brazil, the 60% falls on product plus freight plus insurance, so on a wholesale order the freight you save by consolidating is taxed as well as paid. Consolidation is worth twice what it looks like here.
Brazil is the destination where getting the regime right matters more than anything else, and it is where most forwarding sites quietly mislead people. A parcel that reaches you through a forwarder travels as a *remessa*: a flat 60% federal import tax (Imposto de Importação) on the customs value, from the first dollar, plus state ICMS of 17–20% calculated inclusive. The customs value is not just the product — it is product plus freight plus insurance.
The headlines you have read about US$50 arriving tax-free are real, but they are not about you. Since 13 May 2026 the II on purchases up to US$50 is 0%, and that band belongs to Remessa Conforme: it applies only to platforms certified with the Receita Federal that collect the tax at checkout. A forwarder is not a certified platform and cannot put your parcel in that band. Anyone who tells you otherwise is describing a Shein order, not a forwarded one.
So we say the number out loud before you buy: plan for 60% plus ICMS. What forwarding actually saves you in Brazil is the shop's own price before Brazilian retail margin, access to what simply is not sold here, and freight — because consolidating six orders into one shipment is where the real money is.
Run a quote first and compare the landed total against the Brazilian ticket; sometimes it wins by a lot, and sometimes it does not, and you deserve to know which before you spend.
| Item | Rule for a forwarded parcel (2026) |

Last updated: September 2026. Informational only — not customs or tax advice. Brazilian rules on international parcels moved repeatedly through 2026 and the measure covering the reduced bands was due to lapse around September 2026.

Accurate invoices and customs data, so your parcel is presented as cleanly as it can be.
Shipping something heavier? We move air pallets from Europe — consolidated, documented once.
Get the freight price before you fill the basket.
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
No. 1688 suppliers quote domestic Chinese shipping only, so their listings do not ship to Brazil. You can still buy there with a receiving address in the store's own country: we take delivery, hold your parcels while you finish shopping, and forward them to you.
Sometimes, but usually not, and usually not worth it. Minimum order quantities are the norm because the site exists for wholesale. If you want one of something, Taobao is the better door.
Not to place an order. What you need is a Chinese delivery address and a payment method the platform accepts. The address is the part we solve.
They all deliver to your warehouse address in China, we hold them together, and we forward everything as one international shipment. On a wholesale order that is not a convenience — it is what makes the numbers work.
Order samples before volume, read the supplier's ratings, and consider a content inspection on the sample shipment. A problem found in China is a Chinese problem; the same problem found after the international leg is yours.
Plan for it. A forwarded parcel travels as a remessa, which carries a flat 60% federal import tax on product plus freight plus insurance, plus state ICMS of 17–20%. The 0% band up to US$50 belongs to Remessa Conforme platforms certified with the Receita Federal, and a forwarder cannot use it.
Because of what comes before the tax: the European price without Brazilian retail margin, products that are not distributed in Brazil at all, and consolidation. Six separate orders forwarded as one shipment pay freight once. Whether that beats the Brazilian ticket depends on the product — run a quote and compare before you buy.
No. There is no value below which a forwarded parcel becomes exempt, so splitting only multiplies your freight and your handling. Consolidating does the opposite, and every membership includes free storage days so you can wait for the rest of your orders before anything ships.
