Answer 1 :
Dear Artie, The word here is DONT! You will have to pay some hefty taxes to "Recieta Federal"( Brazils IRS) to import these types of goods. If you dont pay the taxes, the goods will be confiscated, okay ! take the money to Brazil with you nd buy in Brazil, these items are coming down in price rapidly and you can buy them online for your family at "mercadolivre.com.br", Brazils "Ebay" auction.
Answer 2 :
Latin Techie advice is fairly good, but as a tourist you are allowed to bring in one laptop and camera for personal use. Bring them in, post the instructions ahead of time, and leave the original packaging behind. The downside of all this , will be your family will have no 12 months guarantee coverage if there's a problem with the material. Boa Sorte
