Customs duty and tax

Import duty (II) follows the Mercosur Common External Tariff for NCM 8539.41.00 — confirm the current rate with your despachante aduaneiro before ordering. IPI (federal excise) on this NCM is 15% per the TIPI table.

On top of II and IPI: PIS-Import 2.1% and COFINS-Import 9.65% on imports, plus state ICMS at the rate of the importer's state (typically 17–20%). Taxes compound, so the landed cost of a lamp can be 1.6–1.9× the FOB price.

Documents and importer registration

The importer needs a RADAR/Siscomex habilitação. Commercial invoice in Portuguese or with translation, packing list, air waybill; a despachante files the Declaração de Importação.

Major exhibitors:

Barco and Christie dominate the multiplexes; NEC is common in smaller independents. Solar simulators for PV testing at research institutes use 6 kW–7 kW lamps.

Practical notes

Because of the tax stack, Brazilian buyers care most about a correct, consistent invoice value and NCM. State your NCM, gross weight and lamp count clearly on the quote.
