Brazil Fights Back Against US Tariffs With Anti-Dumping Duties and Credit Programs in 2026
Brazil Tariff News and Tracker
About
Welcome to Brazil Tariff News and Tracker, your essential update on the escalating trade tensions between the US under President Trump and Brazil's economy. As of late March 2026, Brazil is firing back at US protectionism while bracing for more hits.
In a bold move, Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber, Gecex, confirmed five-year anti-dumping duties on polyethylene imports from the US and Canada. According to ICIS, the duties fix at $199.04 per tonne for US shipments and $238.49 per tonne for Canadian ones, matching provisional levels from last year to shield domestic producers like Braskem without spiking costs for downstream industries such as packaging and construction, as reported by Brazil Stock Guide.
But the pressure from Trump's tariffs is mounting. GuruFocus details how President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva plans to sign a provisional measure injecting 15 billion reais, or $2.9 billion, in credit for companies hit by US tariffs and Middle East conflicts. This builds on last year's Brasil Soberano program, launched after Trump slapped 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports, now cushioning exporters, farmers, and fertilizer makers amid rising fuel and supply woes.
US actions are reshaping trade flows too. StoneX notes that 2025 US tariffs slashed Brazil's coffee shipments to America by 33.9%, redirecting beans to Europe. Recent headlines show flux: After the US Supreme Court struck down some emergency tariffs in February, Trump pivoted to a 15% global baseline under Section 122, per EBC and Agri-Pulse advisor Peter Navarro. Hellenic Shipping News highlights Brazil as a winner, with rates dropping from 50% to 10% on key goods, though uncertainty lingers.
These tariffs, now averaging 10.3% effective through early 2026 according to Penn Wharton via EBC, are fueling inflation, with households facing $570 to $600 extra costs yearly. Brazil's countermeasures signal resilience, but global volatility demands vigilance.
