Re: DA62's to be built in Brazil
Not surprised. Brazil's import duties for finished goods are some of the highest in the world. They are much lower for component parts. Many electronics manufacturers (TV's, PC's, etc) ship all of their subassemblies to Brazil and do final assembly in Brazil to avoid the higher duties.
