Yeah there is - they have a big manufacturing thing in Brazil because anything imported is subjected to 100% sales tax on top of the invoice pricing - including any shipping / handling or commission fees.

So if your invoice says £1000 for a driver, you pay the government another £1000 on arrival to release the shipment. Put it this way, the guys I've been working with don't sell anything locally because say a single foreign double 18" box, lets say a Stasys X Air, will cost a Brazilian company over £12,000 each after shipping etc.

Anything made in Brazil is exempt. Of course there are ways round this, but they're not really ideal and rely on other forms of monetary payment or crafty stuff like taking empty dummy cabinets to a show in the US or another country, and bringing the real thing back.

Okay now it makes sense - it's a US website for a Brazilian manufacturer. MSRP was in USD. $750 not 750 reals (178 euros).
