US Drops Tariffs on Some Brazilian Goods While Maintaining Hefty 40% Duty on Key Agricultural Exports
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.
