How to spot a trustworthy place

General tips to shop, eat and stay well at the border — no surprises.

  • Prefer businesses with a fixed address and real structure; avoid street vendors and stalls.
  • Watch out for names similar to the famous stores — name copying is common.
  • Don't follow “street guides” who approach tourists on the sidewalk; look for official info.
  • For electronics, test the product and check the receipt and warranty before leaving.
  • Agree on the price and payment method upfront; be wary of deals that seem too good.

On the way back, mind Brazil's customs allowance — see the border shopping & allowance guide.
