Hello >From january 2010, it´s agains the law to import electrical and electronic produto to Brazil with cords and plugs which do not comply with brazilian standard ABNT NBR 14136:2006. And yes, your products could be rejected by customs if not in compliance. Please note that this does not apply to industrial equipment.

The number crunchers have determined it is cheaper to only provide the NEMA15/IEC320 cord set boxed with the main product. A warning is on the power cord that it is only for North America. At the time of a sale a locally correct power cord is provided and the NEMA15 discarded. This process has been followed for years. We are now being told that this is not legal in Brazil, and products could even be rejected by customs. Hoping someone has real knowledge or experience to share.
