Effective Rate

Brazil is a significant source of aircraft, spacecraft imports into the United States, with approximately $92B in total bilateral trade.

As of mid-2026, aircraft, spacecraft imports from Brazil face a base tariff rate of 10% under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty), which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate when it expired July 24, 2026. Section 122 had itself replaced the IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Learning Resources v. Trump (with V.O.S. Selections) on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days, so the flat 10% Section 122 rate expired on July 24, 2026. It was replaced the same day by USTR's Section 301 forced-labor tariff, and Brazil's current 10% base surcharge is that two-tier (10%/12.5%) rate.

Aircraft, Spacecraft (HTS Chapter 88) generally enter duty-free at the MFN level, with the base forced-labor tariff as the primary duty. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Brazil.

Key products in HTS Chapter 88 imported from Brazil include Commercial aircraft, Helicopters, Drones (UAVs), Aircraft engines, Aircraft parts, and Parachutes.
