A tarifa de 60% incide sobre o custo total, não apenas sobre o produto. 60% no produto real + frete tributado também.

What I told you!!!

To be precise, it´s 60% over C.I.F. (Cost Insurance Freight) but didn´t want to sound pedantic 😉

And when Importing, (as opposed to Buying) , besides seemingly low 20% Tariff (which I don´t pay, because I am within Mercosur), you must also pay IPI (Imposto Produto Industrialisado, COFINS, Antidumping and many smaller ones.) , Importing into Brazil is a nightmare.

Which is GOOD because you keep National Industry working.

Ok,try to make your prototypes, and if they work well, you will have HUGE Market.

I sold alot there, but I had to become a Brazilian equivalent he he: got Residence, RNE (Resident Foreigner ID), CPF, etc.

Você não foi pedante, sua presença me ajudou muito. Lembre-se, meu patrimônio é minúsculo, estou pensando em vender a casa.
You weren't pedantic, your presence helped me a lot. Remember, my equity is tiny, I'm thinking of selling the house.

Be glad you have one such Company in Brazil:
https://www.koimas.com.br/
eles fazem o que você precisa, sob suas próprias especificações; eles lhe darão o sistema magnético já construído e montado, pronto para parafusar no quadro e finalizar seu clone JBL personalizado.

Eles fazem isso para Selenium, Novik e muitos fabricantes de alto-falantes automotivos.

Ouch!!!!!

But no big problem 😉

You still have many options, feel HAPPY that you live in a Country which PROTECTS its own Industry.

You have 2 new options:

1) have your magnetic parts made by your current supplier, glue them to the Ferrite ring you get , and have it magnetized at:

https://www.magtek.com.br/magnetizacao-e-desmagnetizacao/
remember you will need to galvanize (shiny blue tinted Zinc) iron parts.

I emphatically do NOT recommend oven cured Epoxy paint, way too thick and will rob you of valuable gap space.

2) have the full magnetic circuit turned, assembled and magnetized by:

Magtek also offer speaker frames, but only steel stamped ones, maybe Koimas still has cast ones?
