US Tariffs Slam Brazilian Exports Causing 38 Percent Plunge in Trade Amid Escalating Economic Tensions with Brazil
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.
