25% Section 301 tariff on products of Brazil starts
USTR put a 25% Section 301 tariff on products of Brazil entered from Jul 22, 2026, over Brazil's practices on digital trade, tariffs, anti-corruption, intellectual property, ethanol and deforestation. Many goods are exempt, including those under Section 232 tariffs.
From Jul 22, 2026, CBP collects an additional 25% duty on products of Brazil under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (heading 9903.05.01), on top of the regular duty. USTR acted at the President's direction (memorandum of Jul 15, 2026, 91 FR 45619) after finding certain of Brazil's acts, policies and practices actionable in its investigation of digital trade and electronic payment services, preferential tariffs, anti-corruption enforcement, intellectual property protection, ethanol market access and illegal deforestation.
Exempt goods include:
- products on the tariff's exemption list (U.S. note 50(a)(ii)) and certain particular articles (note 50(a)(iii))
- civil aircraft, their engines, parts and components, and ground flight simulators (heading 9903.05.05)
- "articles for use in pharmaceutical applications" (heading 9903.05.06)
- goods under the Section 232 tariffs on metals, vehicles and their parts, wood products and semiconductors, and from Jul 31, 2026 patented medicines (heading 9903.05.07)
- donations and informational materials
Goods loaded before Jul 22, 2026 and entered before Jul 29, 2026 were also exempt. Details are on the program page.
