Welcome to Brazil Tariff News and Tracker. I'm bringing you the latest developments on US-Brazil trade policy as of late November 2025.

President Trump has made a significant move regarding Brazilian imports. Just this week, the administration lifted the 40 percent tariffs that were imposed on Brazilian food products back in July. This rollback affects Brazilian beef, coffee, cocoa, and fruit entering the United States. The tariffs are being removed effective November 13th, and the White House has indicated that refunds may be issued for tariffs already collected under the previous policy.

Trump made this decision following a conversation with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The original tariffs had been implemented as leverage related to Brazil's prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is an ally of the current US administration. Now that political motivation has shifted, so has the trade policy.

What does this mean for beef prices specifically? Here's where it gets complicated for American consumers. While the tariff removal should theoretically lower prices, beef costs remain historically elevated. Ground beef prices have jumped 14.7 percent year-over-year as of September 2025, with uncooked ground beef up 12.9 percent. The CEO of Omaha Steaks warned that ground beef could reach ten dollars per pound before the end of 2026, with prices potentially staying high until late 2027. Since 2020, beef prices have increased by more than 50 percent overall.

The tariff removal addresses a supply issue. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins noted that Americans consume about 12 million metric tons of beef annually, with only 10 million coming from domestic producers. That two million metric ton shortfall represents exactly where Brazilian imports become critical. However, experts warn that any price relief will be gradual. The reduction in tariffs creates downward pressure on imported beef cuts, but logistical challenges and the reality that distributors don't always pass savings to consumers means relief won't be immediate.

This tariff reversal also reflects the broader reassessment happening across the Trump administration. Similar food tariff reductions have been enacted on products from other countries, as the administration responds to growing American frustration over grocery store prices. Brazilian seafood exports, which had been heavily impacted by US tariffs earlier this year, may also begin recovering under this new framework.

For listeners tracking these developments, this represents a significant pivot in US-Brazil trade relations. The removal of these tariffs signals a potential easing of tensions and a recognition that protectionist policies have contributed to higher consumer costs.

Listeners, welcome to the latest edition of Brazil Tariff News and Tracker. As of November 26, 2025, major developments in US-Brazil trade relations are making headlines, especially under the ongoing Trump administration. Here’s what you need to know right now.

The most significant news this week is President Donald Trump’s decision to roll back the steep additional tariffs that had targeted Brazilian agricultural products for much of this year. According to reports from both InsideTrade and iContainers, over 200 agricultural and staple food items—including coffee, beef, juices, sugar, and spices—were exempted from the 40% punitive tariff as of November 13, 2025. This rollback means US imports of Brazilian coffee, beef, and tropical fruits are now facing a 10% tariff, down sharply from the 50% rate imposed just a few months ago. Industry analysts, such as those at Valor Econômico and DatamarNews, confirm that the effective share of Brazil’s exports to the US hit by tariff hikes has dropped from 34% to 22% this month, a substantial decline thanks to recent exemptions and diplomatic engagement.

The path to these tariff rollbacks wasn’t smooth. Earlier in 2025, the Trump administration had ratcheted up trade pressure by combining a 10% reciprocal “baseline” tariff with an additional 40% surcharge specifically on Brazil’s food and agricultural exports. This escalation dealt a heavy blow to Brazilian agribusiness, with Agrideria Industrial LLC estimating losses around USD 240 million since the measures began in August. Brazilian beef exports to the US dropped off sharply, as Expanamarkets points out, but the country broke export records overall this year by pivoting to other destinations such as China, Mexico, and Egypt.

Diplomatic tensions remain, however. Brazil’s Vice President and Trade Minister Geraldo Alckmin, speaking this week, confirmed that Brazil has started formal procedures to develop reciprocal tariffs against the United States. This move comes under a new economic reciprocity law and is intended to speed up ongoing negotiations. Alckmin emphasized, “Brazil will not give up on its sovereignty,” echoing President Lula’s consistent calls for intensified dialogue and fairer terms. Camex, the Brazilian foreign trade chamber, now has 30 days to determine how to respond to the US’s earlier 50% tariffs, although no definitive timeline for Brazilian countermeasures has been established.

Meanwhile, US trade policy is in flux as legal challenges advance to the Supreme Court. Several federal courts have already ruled that the current use of emergency powers to impose reciprocal tariffs oversteps presidential authority, but these rulings are stayed as appeals progress.

Listeners, the key takeaway is that US-Brazil trade has shifted dramatically in just a matter of weeks. While many of the most punishing tariffs have been lifted, and the rate for major Brazilian agricultural products reverts to a 10% baseline, ongoing negotiations and legal uncertainties mean the situation could change quickly. We’ll be tracking all the developments so you stay informed.

Listeners, welcome to the latest edition of Brazil Tariff News and Tracker. Today’s episode brings you pivotal updates on U.S. trade policy, major headlines from Washington and Brasília, and what they mean for Brazilian exports and American importers.

On November 20th, President Donald Trump signed an executive order removing tariffs on a significant range of food products produced in Brazil. These tariffs, including a steep 40% duty placed earlier this year, had caused substantial disruption in trade flows, particularly for agricultural goods like beef, coffee, and tropical fruit. The executive order comes after weeks of negotiations between the Trump administration and Brazilian officials, as well as mounting pressure from American industry groups and rising consumer prices. Trump explained that the decision was influenced by ongoing talks with Brazil’s president and recommendations from his own advisors, aiming to address the root concerns that led to these tariffs in the first place. The rollback is being hailed by Brazil as significant progress, but the country is already pressing for additional exemptions in other agricultural categories.

For context, according to the White House fact sheet published with the order, tariffs on consumer staples such as coffee, fruit, and beef have either been lifted or sharply reduced. Just last week, another executive action exempted key agricultural products not commonly grown in the U.S. from the reciprocal tariff regime. This immediate relief is now rippling through supply chains. Prior to the rollback, the tariff on Brazilian beef stood at 26.4% for the remainder of 2025, and coffee faced the now-scrapped 40% surcharge.

Fresh Cup Magazine reports that the removal of those tariffs has brought a swift response: thousands of bags of Brazilian coffee that had been sitting idle in U.S. warehouses are now flowing to American roasters. The National Coffee Association called the measure a win for consumers and the wider U.S. economy, noting that tariff-free trade should help alleviate some cost-of-living pressures. WION News points out that American retail coffee prices had soared by 40% this September due to the tariff chaos, but coffee futures fell sharply after Thursday’s move. Arabica futures dropped to $3.59 per pound, a 4.6% decline, while robusta saw a similar percentage drop.

Brazilian exporters of ginger, papaya, and other produce report relief and hope to recover profits lost to the earlier tariffs. As Andrés Ocampo of HLB Specialties told FreshPlaza, the tariff change allows Brazilian growers to offer more competitive prices while U.S. buyers can maintain supply and quality, especially heading into the critical holiday demand.

Listeners should be aware that, despite this breakthrough, the Trump administration continues to review and adjust tariffs across a wide array of imports. The present landscape is fluid, and fresh negotiations with trading partners are ongoing, so expect further headlines as Washington and Brasília set the tone for 2026.

Today’s update for Brazil Tariff News and Tracker brings significant developments in the ongoing trade relationship between the United States and Brazil. As of November 19, 2025, the U.S. administration has suspended reciprocal tariffs on over 200 agricultural products, including coffee and tea, tropical fruits, cocoa, spices, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, beef, and fertilizers. This move is aimed at addressing rising consumer prices and comes after weeks of negotiations and public concern. However, Brazil remains a notable exception in the coffee sector. While most countries now see their coffee tariffs lifted, Brazil still faces a 40 percent tariff on coffee imports to the United States. This rate is the result of a separate executive order that stands apart from the broader reciprocal tariff structure. The new White House order only removed the reciprocal tariff portion, leaving the Brazil-specific 40 percent tariff in place for now.

The Trump administration has signaled that changes to the tariff on Brazilian coffee are under consideration, with proposed reductions likely, but no formal agreement or timeline has been announced. News outlets report that the U.S. and Brazil hope to sign a provisional trade agreement before the end of the year, which could bring further adjustments to the current tariff regime. Meanwhile, the administration continues to emphasize the need for Brazil to address non-tariff trade barriers that impact U.S. companies.

In other trade news, the Supreme Court recently heard arguments on the legality of the president’s reciprocal tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with a decision expected by the end of 2025 or early 2026. This could have broader implications for all reciprocal tariffs, including those affecting Brazil.

For businesses and listeners tracking the impact, the current 40 percent tariff on Brazilian coffee remains a major factor in pricing and supply chains. Any changes to this rate will be closely monitored as negotiations progress.

Listeners, welcome to Brazil Tariff News and Tracker. As of today, the United States has seen major headlines on tariffs affecting Brazil, with direct involvement from President Donald Trump.

Recently, President Trump signed an executive order lifting the 10% reciprocity tax on roughly 200 imported food products, which includes Brazilian staples like coffee, beef, açaí, and mango. This change modestly boosted the share of Brazilian exports to the US that are fully exempt from extra duties up from 23% to 26%, representing about $10 billion in trade, according to reporting from The Rio Times. Despite initial optimism, a far heavier 40% penalty tariff still stands, especially targeting Brazilian goods such as coffee, beef, and tropical fruit. Only four Brazilian products—three types of orange juice and Pará nuts—are now fully exempt, while the other 76 covered by the executive order continue to face this steep 40% tariff wall.

According to Brazil’s Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, while the removal of the 10% tariff is a positive sign, it is insufficient, noting that competitor countries like Colombia and Vietnam have received deeper or even full removals of US tariffs. This means Brazil is still subject to significant trade disadvantages in key sectors. The persistent 40% tariff has especially hit specialty coffee—a flagship Brazilian export—where high-quality beans have lost ground in the American market, hurting growers and exporters who invested heavily in quality and branding rather than subsidies or protection.

For beef, the American Ag Network and R-CALF USA confirm that Trump’s latest order eliminated the 10% tariff, but the subsequent 40% penalty tariff, first imposed in July 2025, remains. President Trump explained that this strict regime addresses what he sees as a security and supply issue for the US cattle industry, following extreme supply shortages and record consumer beef prices this year.

Adding to uncertainty, the US Supreme Court is reviewing whether Trump has the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose such tariffs in the first place. Some justices note that overturning these tariffs could create legal and economic chaos, with potential refunds on billions in previously collected revenue, while President Trump warned that removing the tariffs could present a “national security catastrophe.”

The bottom line for listeners: despite a much-publicized gesture from the Trump administration, the effective US tariff rate for most Brazilian agricultural products like coffee, beef, and fruit remains at 40%. This keeps trade friction high and competitiveness for Brazilian exporters constrained, while American consumers and investors face continued price and supply volatility.

Listeners, today’s top story is a pivotal announcement from the Trump administration impacting tariffs between the United States and Brazil. On Friday, the White House announced that the U.S. will exempt about 200 imported food products, including key Brazilian exports like beef, coffee, tropical fruits, and fertilizers, from recently implemented “reciprocity tariffs.” As a result, the previous 10% tariff introduced this April on these products from Brazil has now dropped to zero.

But before you get too optimistic, it’s important to note that a separate 40% tariff imposed by President Trump in July remains firmly in place for Brazilian goods. This means that while some products are entering the American market tariff-free, Brazilian coffee, beef, açaí, and other tropical fruits are still facing a hefty 40% duty, one of the highest among nations affected by recent U.S. trade measures.

According to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, the tariff drop to 0% only applies to the narrow set of foodstuffs initially covered by Trump’s “reciprocity tariffs.” The all-important additional 40% tariff, which was a reaction to political developments in Brazil earlier this year, continues to block most agricultural commodities and frustrate Brazilian producers who were hoping for full tariff relief.

The exemption follows months of negotiations. Recent talks in Malaysia between the presidents of both countries saw Brazil lobbying for further tariff reductions, with U.S. officials expressing caution and citing domestic inflation as a reason to maintain strong barriers. President Trump stated publicly that further cuts are not likely soon, arguing that these tariffs are a tool to stabilize rising U.S. food prices driven by ongoing inflation.

In practical terms, Brazilian exporters are still faced with steep costs. The Detroit News reported that since the latest change, 26% of Brazilian goods now enter the U.S. market without extra tariffs—an improvement from 23%, but still a small fraction amid the wider trade restrictions. The food sector in Brazil, especially coffee, has expressed disappointment at the limits of the relief, as recent reductions dropped some tariffs from 50% to 40%, falling short of industry expectations.

To put these headlines in context, economic data shows that the average U.S. tariff rate under Trump’s second term is now close to 18%—among the highest in over a century, with revenue from these tariffs soaring past $30 billion per month. The ongoing trade war with China and targeted tariffs on countries like Brazil have reshaped supply chains and provoked political reactions worldwide. Policy analysts caution that real relief for Brazilian suppliers depends on further negotiations or possible congressional intervention, especially with new Senate votes challenging Trump’s global tariff regime.

Listeners, for Brazilian exporters and importers, the tariff landscape remains volatile. The 40% barrier isn’t budging despite headline announcements, and the push for more fair market access is ongoing. Stay tuned for updates as new deals or court rulings could alter the path ahead.

Welcome to the Brazil Tariff News and Tracker podcast. Today is Friday, November 14, 2025.

Tariffs remain front and center in global trade discussions, and Brazil’s relationship with the United States continues to be shaped by the dramatic increases and shifts in US trade policy under President Trump’s second term. Since January, the US tariff landscape has changed dramatically, with rates at historic highs and Brazil directly in the crosshairs.

From the start of 2025, the average US tariff rate soared from 2.5% to nearly 27%, the highest level in more than a hundred years, after sweeping tariff measures were enacted by President Trump. Specific to Brazil, the tension grew in late July when Trump threatened to hit Brazilian exports with a 50% tariff, linking his threat publicly to concerns over the ongoing trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a political ally. The very next day, citing what he described as an “emergency” in relations, Trump imposed a 40% additional tariff on Brazilian goods, adding to the 10% "reciprocal" tariff that had just taken effect. This resulted in certain Brazilian exports facing up to 50% in US tariffs according to reports from Wikipedia’s coverage of recent trade actions.

This marked a sharp escalation in trade friction, with US tariffs on Brazilian steel, aluminum, and manufactured goods leading to significant pushback from Brazil. The Brazilian government has sought channels to de-escalate the standoff, and diplomatic engagement resumed in earnest this fall. Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira recently expressed hope, after meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that a preliminary trade agreement could be reached as early as November. Vieira emphasized the goal of resolving major issues and restoring stability to US-Brazil trade. According to the Sweden Herald, those talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks, though a comprehensive deal might still take months.

There are positive signals. News out this week from BNamericas highlights that both governments have shown willingness to make progress, and White House sources hint at the possibility of tariff reductions. The US has just announced new trade deals with other Latin American countries—most notably Argentina—lowering tariffs on key agricultural goods such as beef and bananas. It’s unclear if Brazil will secure immediate relief, but negotiators on both sides indicate that progress is being made.

For context, the political environment remains tense. The US Senate narrowly voted to nullify Trump’s global reciprocal tariffs, including those on Brazil, but the move is largely symbolic. A new House rule prevents consideration of tariff rollbacks, so the president’s measures remain in force for now.

Listeners, the months ahead will be critical. Watch for updates from Washington and Brasília, as any deal could have enormous implications for agriculture, manufacturing, and broader US-Brazil economic ties.

Welcome to the Brazil Tariff News and Tracker, where we bring listeners the latest headlines and analysis at the intersection of U.S. tariffs, Brazil, and global policy. Today’s major news is sending shockwaves through business communities and trade partners alike: the Trump administration’s July executive order raised tariffs on Brazilian imports by a staggering 40%, bringing the total U.S. tariff on many Brazilian goods to 50%. This marks the highest rate applied to Brazil in modern U.S. trade history, leading both to economic tensions and reconfigurations across industries. As reported by the Alligator, small importers and retailers, such as Samba in Gainesville, are struggling to adapt, with costs for iconic Brazilian products like Cerpa beer now rising beyond the point where import is financially viable. Some distributors, including All Brazilian Import & Export, have announced they will stop importing certain Brazilian products altogether, with market reductions projected as high as 20%. They are passing some of these costs to clients—about 20%—while absorbing the rest, and have started sourcing substitute products from countries like Thailand to fill the gap.

Diplomatic tensions remain high. According to the Associated Press, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made clear he’s prepared to personally call Donald Trump if current negotiations fail to make headway. Lula and Trump reportedly discussed a potential deal to ease the tariff burden during their October meeting in Malaysia, but no resolution emerged. President Lula explained, “I have no trouble in calling him,” emphasizing the urgency for high-level talks following the climate summit COP30, now underway in Belem, Brazil. He has charged Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Finance Minister Fernando Haddad with leading Brazil’s negotiating effort, underlining that mutual respect between the U.S. and Brazil is vital for both democracies.

Headlines from China Daily confirm the broad scope of the tariffs: Brazil, alongside India, faces 50% rates, while European Union goods see 15%. The justification cited by President Trump is linked not only to Brazil’s trade policies but reportedly also the ongoing criminal proceedings against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

On another front, while tariffs strain the flow of goods, there is significant positive movement: the United States has recently invested $465 million in Brazil’s Serra Verde rare earth mining operation in Goiás state, aiming to create a more resilient Western supply chain and reduce dependency on Chinese critical mineral processing. This partnership may reshape long-term trade relations and economic development, providing a source of stability as both countries weather the current tariff storm.

Listeners, welcome to the Brazil Tariff News and Tracker podcast, your go-to source for the latest developments on tariffs involving Brazil, the US, and the shifting trade landscape.

After months of negotiations and heated debate, tariff tensions between the United States and Brazil remain at the forefront of international trade news. The current US tariff rate averages around 18%, with many goods from Brazil facing a stunning increase—some reportedly by more than 50%. The two governments, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and, once again, Donald Trump, have discussed striking a deal, but long-standing political and diplomatic frictions still complicate the picture. According to recent reports from AOL, these higher tariffs are hitting Brazilian producers hard while putting a squeeze on US consumers, with the average American household shouldering an extra $1,300 in 2025 due to the broad tariff regime.

Brazilian officials, including President Lula, have stated publicly that they are actively engaging the US to seek relief. Lula has even threatened to personally call Trump if talks to resolve the tariffs stall further. Negotiations are ongoing, and both sides have signaled interest in reaching a mutually beneficial solution, but progress remains slow and uncertain.

Legal uncertainty adds to the volatility. The Indian Express explains that the US Supreme Court is currently deliberating the legality of Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose these sweeping tariffs. Preliminary questioning from the justices suggests skepticism about whether these actions are constitutionally valid since tariffs are arguably a form of taxation, a power the US Constitution assigns to Congress. A Supreme Court decision striking down Trump’s tariff authority could unravel the legal foundation for the current system and trigger significant refunds for importers—potentially as much as $100 billion across all affected countries, with Brazil among those most impacted.

Meanwhile, the latest from ColombiaOne.com reveals that Brazil is in ongoing negotiations with the US regarding a 50% tariff on coffee exports, aiming to have it reduced gradually toward zero. These talks are being closely watched by other exporters like Colombia, for whom maintaining competitiveness in the US market is critical.

On the international stage, the upcoming BRICS summit in Brazil is drawing attention, as Trump’s administration moves away from global trade leadership. BRICS nations are stepping in to champion open markets and challenge protectionism, emphasizing Brazil’s role in broader economic trends, as reported by Graphic News.

For sector-specific updates, the GMK Center notes that Brazilian pig iron prices have dropped, reflecting not just market conditions but also changing external demand and ongoing tariff exemptions in some cases.

For now, the trade relationship between Brazil and the US sits in a state of flux—shaped by politics, international law, and the push and pull of global supply chains. Both governments have much to gain from resolution, but shifting legal and diplomatic ground means that tariffs will likely stay volatile for some time yet.

Listeners, today’s Brazil Tariff News and Tracker focuses on the latest developments in US-Brazil tariff relations amid ongoing policy shifts under President Trump. In August, the Trump administration imposed a dramatic 50% tariff on Brazilian goods exported to the US. Brazil, America’s second-largest trading partner, saw shipments to the US plunge nearly 38% in October compared to the same month last year. The Ministry of Development reports that US-bound exports totaled $2.21 billion for October, marking the tenth consecutive month in trade deficit with the US. Imports from America grew to $3.97 billion, a 9.6% increase, deepening Brazil’s deficit to $1.76 billion last month.

The impact of Trump’s tariffs is widespread. According to Datamar News, the 50% surcharge targeted roughly 36% of US-bound Brazilian exports and began fully taking effect in August. This move was initially justified by economic complaints regarding alleged US trade deficits with Brazil—claims not supported by official figures—and framed by political considerations including the investigation of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and American “freedom of speech rights”. In direct response, the Brazilian government launched a R$30 billion credit line aimed at shielding domestic companies and jobs from US tariff fallout.

The Pig Site adds that Brazil’s export portfolio is strong, including crude oil, iron ore, soybeans, coffee, corn, and beef, but US shipments dropped 37.9% in October. In contrast, China—Brazil’s largest trading partner—increased imports by 33.4% during the same month. Overall, Brazil’s trade surplus rose 70% year-over-year, reaching $7 billion in October, underpinned by export growth to other global markets despite declining business with the US.

One sector hit especially hard is sugar. Betterment reports that new US limits on organic sugar imports—coupled with a 50% tariff on Brazilian sugar, which traditionally supplies nearly 40% of America’s organic market—are driving prices sharply higher for US consumers. American coffee retailers are feeling the pinch as well, with Tea & Coffee Net highlighting disruptions triggered by the 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee imports.

It’s important to note broader tariff policy shifts from Washington. Recent changes saw base US tariffs rise to about 10% on most goods, but reciprocal rates with Brazil and some others can reach as high as 50%, according to OneUnion Solutions. Despite ongoing negotiations, the tariff hikes remain in effect following last month’s meeting between Presidents Trump and Lula da Silva.
