All 27 Documented Cases
Multas por Não Conformidade com Acessibilidade (LBI)
R$10,000 - R$100,000 per lawsuit (typical range for accessibility non-compliance); 20-50 hours per remediation cycleFailure to certify products and websites for accessibility under LBI triggers legal actions with financial penalties, common in Brazil due to mandatory compliance for companies with presence in the country.
Decisões Errôneas de Design/Sourcing por Desconhecimento de Restrições Locais
5-10% BOM cost premium per product; for a R$ 500k component BOM: R$ 25,000-50,000 per SKU. Annual exposure (10-20 launches): R$ 250,000-1,000,000.Needs assessment phase ignores Zona Franca de Manaus sourcing advantages (15.4% of North Region industrial GDP), tax-exempt component availability, or domestic semiconductor options (e.g., Adata DRAM/FLASH from Santo Antônio de Posse, SP or Manaus). Specifications default to imported components, triggering ICMS (7-21% by state), PIS (1.65%), COFINS (7.6%), tariffs (varies 2-20%), and longer lead times.
Multas por Não-Conformidade com NR-12 e Rejeição de Produtos no Mercado
Estimated: R$ 150,000–500,000 per rejection cycle (product redesign, re-testing, market re-entry delays); Typical re-testing cost: R$ 20,000–80,000 per sample batch; Potential fine ranges: R$ 5,000–50,000 per non-conformity (based on Brazilian labor/safety penalty frameworks)NR-12 mandates compliance assessment including sample testing and market surveillance for machinery and equipment. Non-compliant products face rejection before commercialization. Additionally, under NR-12, the Brazilian License Holder (local representative) bears legal liability for recalls[4], creating financial exposure for non-compliance discovered post-sale.
Multas por Descumprimento de Proteção de Dados (LGPD)
Up to 2% of annual Brazilian revenue per violation, capped at BRL 50 million (~USD 10.5 million) per violation[2][6][8]LGPD enforcement escalated significantly in 2023-2025. The ANPD issued fines totaling BRL 98 million (~USD 20 million) across violations. Configuration and order management processes that manually handle customer data without documented consent, encryption, or access controls face maximum penalties.
