Trump Eases 10% Tariff on Brazilian Imports, But 40% Penalty Remains Blocking Key Agricultural Exports
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.
