The United States government announced the reduction of reciprocity tariffs on various Brazilian products, including coffee, meat, bananas, some fresh or frozen tropical fruits, Brazil nuts, and açaí. The measure was published this Friday (14) in an executive order from the White House.
The decision takes effect for imported goods and those withdrawn from warehouse since Thursday (13), although the exact percentage of the reduction has not yet been detailed.
Since August, the importation of Brazilian products by the U.S. faced a 50% surcharge, directly impacting the country's agribusiness sector. The expectation is that the reduction in tariffs will stimulate bilateral trade and ease the pressure on Brazilian producers.
The news was initially released by G1.
