Yes, it is true! Nikon has left Brazil for good. Nikon Brazil issued an official statement declaring that it had ended all of its sales and operations in Brazil with effect from September 2018 – which is lesser than a year after it stopped all online sales in Brazil on Nov 2017.
It’s true that, According to Brazilian photographer Renato Murakami, Brazil has a horrible market for foreign companies because of its confusing rules on electronics sales and the ever-growing grey market. He further added that sometimes people just prefer to fly to Miami and purchase cameras since it is both lesser in price and quality assured to get it from the USA as compared to buying the same in Brazil.
