新华财经圣保罗6月23日电（记者杨家和）据巴西联邦税务局（Receita Federal）近日公布数据，2024年 巴西消费者通过数字应用程序进行的国际网购总额达到创纪录的150亿雷亚尔（约合27.29亿美元）。 巴西联邦税务局数据显示，作为拉美最大经济体，巴西在2024年共完成1.9亿笔通过邮政渠道交付的国 际订单，略低于2023年创下的2.1亿笔记录，但由于汇率变化等因素，整体交易金额仍呈增长趋势。 巴西新闻频道"环球新闻"（GloboNews）指出，2024年美元兑雷亚尔平均汇率较上年上涨约8%，从1美 元兑4.99雷亚尔升至5.39雷亚尔，为交易总额的上升的最主要原因。 此外，近年来跨境电商平台在巴西地快速发展，也是助推网购金额创纪录的重要力量。巴西消费者在拼 多多旗下Temu、阿里巴巴集团旗下AliExpress和中资背景的Shein、Shopee等平台上的活跃度不断提升， 这不仅是因为商品价格优势明显，还得益于平台提供的多语种界面、本地支付方式以及更快捷的物流服 务。 在物流方面，包括安骏物流（Anjun）在内的多家中国企业积极布局本地物流网络。安骏物流在圣保罗 瓜鲁柳斯机场设立2.5万平方米的海 ...
