All 12 Documented Cases

Multas por Rejeição de NF-e / Não Conformidade com SPED

100% of invoice value per rejected invoice; R$5,000/month minimum for ECD filing delays. Example: 2–3 monthly rejections × R$10,000 = R$20,000–30,000/month in fines alone.

WIP inventory systems that lack real-time integration with NF-e generation risk schema validation failures (missing fields, incorrect CFOP codes, ICMS non-compliance, or invalid tax calculations). Each rejected invoice incurs a 100% penalty of invoice value under SPED rules and blocks goods circulation until corrected. For a handbag manufacturer with average order value of R$10,000 selling to 50+ B2B clients monthly, even a 5% rejection rate (2–3 invoices/month) results in substantial fines.

Multa por Não Conformidade com EUDR e Rastreabilidade de Couro Importado

Potential: até 4% do faturamento anual. Exemplo: empresa com R$100M turnover = R$4M em multas EUDR. Custo de remedição: 10-30 dias de auditoria forense + rechamada de produtos.

Brazilian leather exporters (e.g., Durlicouros) and tanneries (Faeda, Conceria Cristina) lack full traceability of indirect cattle suppliers. Quality control checkpoints that do not verify farm-of-origin compliance with EUDR criteria expose handbag brands to trade bans. Frigol, a major Brazilian meatpacker, paid €280,000 fine for purchasing cattle from embargoed areas, demonstrating enforcement reality.

Multas LGPD por Tratamento Inadequado de Dados de Devoluções

R$50,000,000 (maximum per infraction); or R$50,000/day in daily fines until compliance

LGPD enforcement by ANPD (Brazilian National Data Protection Authority) has imposed BRL 98 million in fines since 2023. Returns/defect processing requires handling sensitive customer data (name, contact, purchase records). Companies processing this data without documented lawful basis or without an appointed DPO face simple fines up to 2% of annual revenue (capped R$50 million per infraction). Daily fines of R$50,000/day can accumulate until compliance is achieved.

Multas Trabalhistas por Horas Extras Excessivas em Processamento de Devoluções

Minimum R$40,000 in moral damages per violation; plus daily fines up to R$10,000/day for non-compliance; potential loss of government contracts and bank loans

Brazilian labor courts impose direct penalties for excessive working hours in processing operations. Recent cases in garment industry (similar to handbag manufacturing) resulted in moral damages of ~R$40,000 (USD $40,000 equivalent) for excessive overtime. Companies may also face collective moral damages if overtime affects most employees. The State Congress of São Paulo also enacted law allowing cancellation of taxpayer registration for companies using labor in slavery or similar conditions (including systematic overtime abuse).
