No. My country adds a lot of import taxes so I select suppliers within European Union or Mouser that ships tax free.

May main suppliers are Mouser, TME, SOSelectronics and local resellers for larger quantities.

Regarding the inductors, I think either Coilcraft or Burns (or other reputable brands) will make no difference, as long as you select one that has the specs.

At testing time you will see if adding more caps on output of the power supply makes any significant difference. Can't tell right now.

For mass production of assembled pcb JLCPCB may be more expensive. I usually do this for no more than 20-30 pcs, depending on the component count too. Greater production is cheaper for me if I do it locally and just order only the pcb's from JLCPCB.
