US Tariffs on Imports from Brazil
Brazil Import Tariff Overview
Brazil faces a 10% Section 122 tariff plus standard MFN rates on exports to the US. As a major steel producer, Section 232 tariffs of 50% apply to Brazilian steel and aluminum — these were unaffected by the SCOTUS IEEPA ruling.
Brazil is the largest economy in South America and a significant US trading partner, with approximately $40B in annual exports to the US. There is no bilateral free trade agreement between the US and Brazil, though negotiations have been discussed periodically. Brazil is a member of Mercosur, which limits its ability to negotiate independent trade deals.
Key Products Imported from Brazil
Top imports from Brazil include crude oil, iron and steel products, aircraft and parts (Embraer), coffee, wood pulp, orange juice, and soybeans. Brazil is also a major supplier of ethanol, beef, and industrial machinery.
Recent Changes
Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs; Brazil's 10% rate continues under Section 122 authority (expires ~July 24, 2026). Section 232 steel tariffs are 50% (doubled June 2025). Brazil's steel quota arrangement was superseded by the flat Section 232 tariff. Embraer aircraft deliveries continue under specific HTS classifications. No US-Brazil FTA is expected near-term.
Tips for Importers
For steel imports, evaluate whether your product classifications might qualify for a Section 232 exclusion through the Commerce Department. Brazilian coffee enters at 0% MFN duty, making the 10% Section 122 tariff the only layer. Duty drawback programs offset costs on re-exported goods. With Section 122 set to expire ~July 2026, consider timing larger shipments around the potential rate change.
How US Tariffs on Brazil Work
US import duties on goods from Brazil are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the Section 122 tariff at 10%, which applies to all countries and is set to expire around July 24, 2026. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate.
