Welcome to Brazil Tariff News and Tracker, your daily source for breaking updates on tariffs, trade policy, and how it all impacts Brazil and the United States. Let’s get right to the latest headlines and insights.

As of May 14, 2025, President Donald Trump’s administration has implemented a sweeping 10 percent ad valorem tariff on all U.S.-origin goods exported globally, which includes Brazilian products. These new tariffs follow an announcement on what Trump called “Liberation Day,” and are positioned as a measure to restore “trade reciprocity” with U.S. partners, including Brazil. According to coverage on the Trade Compliance Resource Hub and PassportGlobal, this flat 10 percent tariff applies to imports from virtually all countries, with just a few exceptions.

The Brazilian government responded swiftly, expressing regret over the U.S. decision and characterizing the move as a violation of World Trade Organization commitments. In a joint press release, Brazil highlighted that the U.S. had a $7 billion trade surplus with Brazil in goods last year, rising to $28.6 billion when including services—a fact that undermines the U.S. argument for needing a trade rebalancing with Brazil. Over the past 15 years, the U.S. has accumulated a surplus of $410 billion in trade with Brazil, a point Brazilian officials stress in challenging the fairness of the new tariffs.

In response, Brazil is considering measures to defend its workers and companies, including consultations with the private sector, potential action at the WTO, and the advancement of its own “Economic Reciprocity Bill” now under review in the Chamber of Deputies. The government has stated its openness to continued dialogue with Washington but has made it clear that it will pursue all necessary avenues to protect Brazilian interests. These developments were outlined in an official press release from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations.

Looking at the economic impact, the new tariffs appear to be exerting downward pressure on Brazil’s inflation outlook for 2025. Valor International reports that economists now expect inflation to hover around 5 percent, down from earlier projections above 5.5 percent. The Brazilian real has remained relatively stable, with the currency projected to trade close to R$5.70 through the year, supporting forecasts of moderated inflation. Despite these improvements, projections are still above the government’s official inflation target.

Listeners, the situation is evolving quickly, and we’ll continue to monitor negotiations, economic indicators, and political developments as both countries navigate these significant tariff changes.
