Dalam Angka
The Brazilian government has put a trade preparedness plan into action to respond to the US decision to impose a 25% customs duty on Brazilian products. Treasury Secretary Dario Durigan confirmed that the country could use economic reciprocity measures if bilateral negotiations fail.
This potential step is based on Reciprocity Law No. 15.122, approved by President Lula da Silva on 11 April 2025. This law allows Brazil to retaliate at the same rate in the event of unjust or illegal trade sanctions directed against the country. Accordingly, Brazil will also have the right to impose taxes at a similar rate on products imported from the US.
According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, the aforementioned additional taxes are expected to affect 18% of Brazil's exports to the US and cause an approximately 7.4 billion dollar blow. The Brazilian government argues that the overall macroeconomic impacts will be limited and that the strong trade relations maintained with China provide a margin of safety for the trade volume deficit.
