SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
At the specific direction of the President, on July 15, 2025, the Trade
Representative initiated an investigation into Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices related
to digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair, preferential tariffs; anti-
corruption enforcement; intellectual property protection; ethanol market access; and
illegal deforestation. The notice of initiation solicited written comments on:
Digital Trade and Electronic Payment Services
• The acts, policies, or practices of Brazil that may undermine the competitiveness of
U.S. companies engaged in digital trade or electronic payment services.
• The extent to which Brazil’s acts, policies, or practices discriminate against or
unfairly disadvantage U.S. companies engaged in digital trade or electronic payment
services.

3

Unfair, Preferential Tariffs
• The acts, policies, or practices of Brazil which accord lower, preferential tariff
treatment only to certain large trading partners in specific sectors, including sectors in
which these trading partners are globally competitive.
• The extent to which Brazil’s acts, policies, or practices discriminate against or
unfairly disadvantage U.S. exports and economic output.
Anti-Corruption Enforcement
• The extent to which Brazil’s enforcement of anti-corruption measures is not
sufficient.
• The extent to which Brazil’s lack of enforcement of anti-corruption measures
disadvantages U.S. companies engaged in trade and investment in Brazil.
Intellectual Property Protection
• The acts, policies, or practices of Brazil that deny adequate and effective protection
and enforcement of intellectual property rights.
• The extent to which Brazil’s acts, policies, or practices discriminate against or
unfairly disadvantage American workers whose livelihoods are tied to American
innovation- and creativity-driven sectors.
• Other acts, policies, or practices of Brazil relating to the protection or enforcement of
intellectual property rights that may discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage
U.S. businesses.
Ethanol Market Access
• The extent to which Brazil’s tariff rates or any related regulations on ethanol
discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage U.S. ethanol producers.

4

• Other acts, policies, or practices of Brazil that may discriminate against or unfairly
disadvantage U.S. producers of ethanol, biofuels, or related products.
Illegal Deforestation
• The extent to which Brazil has laws and regulations to effectively address illegal
deforestation, use of illegally deforested land for agricultural production, and illegal
logging taking place in its territory.
• The extent to which Brazil is effectively enforcing laws and regulations to address
illegal deforestation, using illegally deforested land for agricultural production, and
permitting illegal logging in its territory.
• The extent to which farmers are producing agricultural products on illegally
deforested land in Brazil and exporting those products, directly or through
downstream agricultural products, to the United States or other markets.
• The extent to which Brazilian products, including lumber and wooden furniture, are
being made with timber harvested illegally and are being exported to the United
States or other markets.
• Other acts, policies, or practices of Brazil related to illegal deforestation that may
discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage U.S. businesses.
General
• Whether there are any other acts, policies, and practices of Brazil related to the
production of goods and services referenced in this notice that discriminate against or
unfairly disadvantage U.S. businesses.
• Whether Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices identified in this initiation notice are
unreasonable or discriminatory.

5

• Whether Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices identified in this initiation notice burden
or restrict U.S. commerce, and if so, the nature and level of the burden or restriction.
This would include economic assessments of the burden or restriction on U.S.
commerce.
• Whether Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices identified in this initiation notice are
actionable under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act, and what action, if any, should be
taken, including tariff and non-tariff actions.
Interested persons submitted over 295 comments and rebuttal comments. Some of
these comments were non-responsive or contained irrelevant information. Other
comments did not address actionability of any of the specific issues raised in the Notice
of Initiation, but requested either specific application or exemptions from tariffs for
certain products or categories of products. USTR has included responses to major
comments that did address actionability in Section III below. In addition, USTR and the
Section 301 Committee convened a public hearing on September 3, 2025, during which
witnesses provided testimony and responded to questions. The public submissions are
available at https://https://comments.ustr.gov/s/ in docket number USTR-2025-0043, and
a transcript of the hearing is available on USTR’s website.
On July 15, 2025, the Trade Representative requested consultations with the
Government of Brazil pursuant to Section 303(a) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2413(a)).
Consultations were held on April 15 and 16, 2026.
II. Determination of Actionability
Based on information obtained during the investigation and in consultation with
the Section 301 Committee, the Trade Representative has determined under sections

6

301(b) and 304(a) of the Trade Act that certain of Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices
related to digital trade and electronic payment services; unfair, preferential tariffs; anti-
corruption enforcement; intellectual property protection; ethanol market access; and
illegal deforestation are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce and thus are actionable.
A. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Digital Trade and
Electronic Payment Services are Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that certain of Brazil’s acts, policies,
and practices with respect to digital trade and electronic payment services at issue in this
investigation are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.

First, Brazilian courts have issued secret orders directing U.S. social media
companies, including X, Meta, and Google, to take down certain political content and to
suspend the profiles of U.S. residents, sometimes globally, and prohibiting the platforms
from disclosing these orders to profile owners. Brazilian courts have also subjected U.S.
social media companies to substantial, daily non-compliance fines or required them to
cease operations in Brazil in the event of non-compliance. For example, Rumble, a video-
sharing platform, has been suspended in Brazil since February 2025 after it refused to
censor a U.S. resident pursuant to a secret Brazilian court order and later elected to
publicly defend that user’s free-speech rights. Similarly, Brazilian courts prohibited X
from operating in Brazil from August to October 2024 after the company refused to take
down content created by a Brazilian journalist living in the United States and appoint a

1
On the facts gathered during this investigation, and at this time, the Trade Representative does not make
any findings with respect to actionability of acts, policies, and practices relating to digital trade with respect
to the Brazilian Supreme Court’s decision of June 26, 2025, or restrictions on the transfer of personal data
outside Brazil.

local representative. In addition to imposing significant daily fines on X for failing to
comply with this take-down order, a Brazilian court froze X’s bank accounts, financial
assets, motor vehicle and real estate assets; blocked aircraft registered to the company
from entering or leaving Brazil; prevented Brazil’s central bank from sending X financial
assets abroad; and blocked payment-processing platforms from processing payments for
X. In 2023 and 2024, Brazilian courts ordered removal and demonetization of numerous
accounts and channels related to a popular Brazilian podcaster who lives in Florida. In
2025, Brazilian courts allowed the unblocking of this podcaster’s accounts only on the
condition that allegedly offensive content remain inaccessible. Meta’s transparency
reports indicate that from July to December 2025, Brazil ordered it to restrict more
content than it has restricted during any comparable period since 2016, including
approximately 9,800 items in compliance with orders from local courts and through legal
take-down actions related to civil, criminal, and electoral proceedings. Exacerbating this
situation is the Brazilian Supreme Court’s decision of June 26, 2025, declaring partially
unconstitutional Article 19 of Brazil’s 2014 Internet Civil Rights Framework, which
required a judicial order before civil liability could arise from third-party content.
Brazil’s take-down orders are secret in that they are known to the social media
company but not the affected individual. These orders have had adverse financial
consequences for U.S. companies and persons. For example, access to X in Brazil was
restored in October 2024 only upon the company’s payment of a $5 million fine, and
many of Brazil’s take-down orders threaten significant daily fines in the event of non-
compliance. Orders to cease operations in Brazil and block accounts or platforms in
Brazil also result in a loss of market opportunities in Brazil for American social media

8

companies and U.S. persons. The Brazilian Supreme Court’s decision of June 26, 2025,
compounds this situation of uncertainty and risk, and effectively requires companies to
choose between potentially incurring substantial liability for user-generated content and
preemptively taking down potentially lawful content.
These secret orders by Brazilian courts and harsh penalties for non-compliance
are unreasonable because they require U.S. social media companies to take down political
content and suspend the profiles of U.S. and Brazilian residents for political speech that is
protected in the United States and necessary for vigorous political discourse. These
orders also burden or restrict U.S. commerce by exposing U.S. social media companies to
financial liability for failing to take down or suspend such materials, by imposing fines,
restricting access to assets, accounts, and payment processing systems, and in at least one
case, by shutting down a site altogether.
Second, Brazil has unfairly disadvantaged U.S. companies engaged in competing
electronic payment services, including by policies that favor its national champion Pix.
The Brazilian central bank established the instant payment system Pix in November
2020. Pix connects financial and payment institutions (“participating institutions”) with
individuals, firms, and government entities to provide instant or scheduled payments,
cash withdrawals, payment invoices, and short-term borrowing, among other services.
The Brazilian central bank’s dual role as regulator and owner/operator of Pix creates a
conflict of interest, in the absence of adequate procedural safeguards. The bank has acted
as a regulator to disadvantage U.S. electronic payment services providers and preference
Pix. For example, the central bank mandates the use of Pix by financial institutions with
more than 500,000 accounts and requires that Pix be displayed on participating

9

institutions’ main application screen with no less prominence than any other payment or
transfer functionality. In addition, the central bank encourages use of Pix over other
services by mandating that participating institutions (including institutions that it requires
to participate in Pix) offer Pix for free to individuals and by capping the fee those
institutions may charge businesses for Pix transactions.
The acts, policies, and practices of Brazil related to its preferential treatment of
Pix are unfair and discriminatory. It is unfair to require competitors to provide advantages
to Pix, such as availability, visibility, and fee caps, and Brazil discriminates against U.S.
electronic payment services suppliers by providing those advantages only to Brazil’s
national champion. The acts, policies, and practices of Brazil related to its preferential
treatment of Pix are a burden or restriction on U.S. commerce by imposing costs on U.S.
services providers and by forcing U.S. providers to promote their Brazilian competitor,
without compensation.
B. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Unfair, Preferential
Tariffs are Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices
with respect to unfair, preferential tariffs are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
Brazil maintains partial-scope preferential trade arrangements with Mexico and
India covering sectors in which Mexico and India are advanced, globally competitive
producers. Brazil accords lower, preferential tariff treatment to hundreds of Mexican and
Indian goods across multiple sectors, such as agricultural products, motor vehicles and
parts, minerals, chemicals, and machinery. This preferential treatment covers over a

10

thousand tariff lines for Mexico and hundreds of tariff lines for India at tariff rates that
are between 10 and 100 percent lower than Brazil’s most-favored-nation (MFN) rate,
which applies to U.S. exports in those same sectors.
The discrete sectors covered by Brazil’s preferential trade arrangements with
Mexico and India are ones in which the United States is also globally competitive and
actively exporting to Brazil. Accordingly, Brazil’s preferential trade arrangements with
Mexico and India particularly undermine the market access of U.S. goods in Brazil.
Trade data demonstrate that imports from Mexico and India of covered goods increased
after the arrangements were concluded, both in absolute terms and relative to imports
from the United States. For example, Mexican goods’ share of global imports under tariff
classifications covered by Brazil’s arrangement with Mexico rose from 1.7% five years
before entry into force (1998) to 3.3% twenty years after entry into force (2023); by
contrast, over this period, U.S. goods’ share decreased by half from 22% to 11%.
Similarly, Indian goods’ share of global imports under the tariff classifications covered
by Brazil’s arrangement with India rose from 3.2% five years before entry into force
(2004) to 6.7% fifteen years after entry into force (2024); during this period, U.S. goods’
share dropped by four percentage points to 8.2%. Although these trends may reflect other
market dynamics and cannot be attributed solely to the preferential trade arrangements,
those arrangements were one key factor contributing to the erosion of the market share of
U.S. goods in key sectors.
In 2025, Brazil imported approximately $5.9 billion in goods under tariff
classifications covered by its preferential tariff commitments to Mexico and India—$4.7
billion from Mexico and $1.3 billion from India. These 2025 imports included

11

approximately $1.8 billion in motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts from Mexico,
relative to $1.0 billion from the United States, even though U.S. production of motor
vehicles and motor vehicle parts is more than twice that of Mexico. Nearly all of Brazil’s
imports of motor vehicles and parts from Mexico were imported under tariff
classifications subject to no tariffs, while Brazil’s imports of these products from the
United States were imported under tariff classifications subject to MFN rates, almost all
of which are between 14% and 35%.
Brazil’s trade arrangements with Mexico and India also create incentives to
offshore U.S. production by creating a financial advantage to exporting to Brazil from
these countries, as opposed to exporting from the United States. This incentive is
particularly strong for sectors in which Mexico and India do not impose substantial
barriers on the importation of U.S. (or other origin) inputs and manufacturing equipment.
So long as production relocated from the United States to Mexico or India is sufficient to
meet the rules of origin in Brazil’s preferential trade arrangements with Mexico or India,
the finished good would qualify as originating from Mexico or India under the relevant
arrangement and be eligible for tariff preferences.
Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices with respect to preferential tariffs benefiting
Mexico and India are unreasonable or discriminatory because they apply substantially
lower tariffs on Mexican and Indian goods for which Mexico and India are advanced,
globally competitive producers, and thus particularly disadvantage U.S. exporters.
Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce because they result
in significantly higher tariffs on competing U.S. goods, and they create a strong incentive
to offshore U.S. production to Mexico or India.

12

Brazil contends that that its preferential trade arrangements with Mexico and
India are consistent with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, including the Enabling
Clause. For reasons discussed below in Section III, Brazil’s reliance on the Enabling
Clause is misplaced. The Enabling Clause effectively carves out developing countries—
most of the WTO Membership—from the MFN principle in key respects. Developing
Members invoke the Enabling Clause to conclude regional trade agreements with other
developing countries that provide tariff reductions without having to provide the same
treatment to other WTO Members. But, as explained above, it is fundamentally unfair for
Brazil to provide tariff preferences to supposedly developing Members that are, in fact,
advanced, globally competitive producers, and thus compete with an artificial advantage
against U.S. exporters. The Enabling Clause has caused systemic distortions in the global
trading system.
C. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Anti-Corruption
Enforcement are Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices
with respect to anti-corruption enforcement are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
Brazil has failed and continues to fail to take sufficient enforcement action to
combat bribery and corruption. In an October 2023 report, the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) expressed concerns that Brazil has failed to
achieve a sustainable level of foreign bribery enforcement consistent with its economic
profile and particularly given the involvement by Brazilian companies in some of the
world’s largest corruption cases in the last decade. The report highlighted Brazil’s failure

13

to investigate and prosecute foreign bribery allegations. In 2023, the OECD noted that
Brazil’s first and only foreign bribery case brought to criminal trial was still ongoing
despite commencing in 2014.
The report also expressed concern regarding the annulment of all evidence in a
leniency agreement with a Brazilian construction company that was negotiated by
Brazil’s Public Prosecutor’s Office as part of Operation Car Wash. This decision,
rendered in September 2023 by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Dias Toffoli, dealt with
the largest transnational corruption scheme in history and led to the annulment of more
than a hundred cases in Brazil. In 2024, penalties under Operation Car Wash imposed on
companies that had confessed to mass corruption were suspended and allowed to be
renegotiated. The renegotiation of these leniency agreements has been faulted for
progressing without transparency and with serious conflict of interests. Regarding these
renegotiations, the Organization of American States found that Brazil’s actions “risk
undermining the public trust in the use of these agreements and may contribute to a sense
of legal uncertainty for legal entities” and questions regarding the fairness of these
agreements. In 2025, Transparency International characterized the annulment of these
cases as Brazil’s most serious breach of the OECD’s Anti-Bribery Convention.
Despite condemnation from intergovernmental organizations for its backsliding in
anti-corruption enforcement, Brazil has taken few steps to reverse course and its efforts to
fight corruption remain weak. In January 2026, Transparency International issued a
statement indicating that its Brazil chapter had been subject to increasing harassment
from the Brazilian government following the organization’s calls for greater transparency
in Brazil’s public infrastructure sector. The OECD also recently reported that companies

14

have a general distrust towards the Brazilian government and a general fear of being
associated with the public sector. Additionally, the OECD reported that Brazil ranked
below the OECD average on many public integrity indicators.
Brazil’s judicial proceedings involving anti-corruption enforcement continue to
move too slowly. Following Supreme Court Justice Toffoli’s 2023 decision to set aside
evidence in Operation Car Wash, Brazil’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, along with the Sao
Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office and the National Association of Prosecutors, challenged
the decision in court, highlighting many alleged inconsistencies in the decision. The
challenge is still pending at the Brazilian Supreme Court.
In 2024, Brazil scored a 34 out of 100 on Transparency International’s Corruption
Perceptions Index (CPI), its lowest score since 2012, placing it well below the global
average of 43, and positioning it at 107 out of 180 countries. In 2025, Brazil’s CPI score
remained low at 35 out of 100. Corruption in Brazil is not new, but with its recent
actions, Brazil has moved farther away from global norms relating to fighting bribery and
corruption.
The acts, policies, and practices of Brazil with respect to anti-corruption
enforcement are unreasonable because Brazil’s insufficient enforcement of its anti-
corruption measures falls well short of global norms, including as reflected in its own
laws. The acts, policies, and practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce because they
allow corrupt companies to operate in Brazil with impunity while U.S. companies, which
are subject to significant requirements and potential liability for foreign corrupt practices,
are therefore disadvantaged in seeking trade and investment opportunities in Brazil.

15

D. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Intellectual Property
Protection Are Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices
with respect to intellectual property protection and enforcement are unreasonable and
burden or restrict U.S. commerce.
In USTR’s Special 301 Reports—prepared annually pursuant to Section 182 of
the Trade Act to identify countries that deny adequate and effective intellectual property
protections or fair and equitable market access to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual
property protection—Brazil has been on the Watch List since 2007. Brazil’s inclusion on
this list reflects the longstanding and serious nature of the intellectual property issues
U.S. companies have endured in Brazil.
Consistent with the findings in the 2026 Special 301 Report, these issues include
Brazil’s failure to sufficiently enforce its criminal laws and customs regulations to
address the importation and trafficking of counterfeit goods. For example, Brazil lacks
deterrent-level penalties authorized by statute or issued by its courts, has insufficient
numbers of customs officers posted at border points, and fails to prosecute offenses in a
timely manner. Although customs enforcement data shows some increase in seizures
through periodic campaigns, Brazil has reportedly failed to carry out systemic and
consistent inspections. Counterfeit goods have surged in Brazil through smuggling and a
significant increase in small parcels entering Brazil. Local manufacturing and finishing of
counterfeit goods have also increased.
Brazil has also failed to address the unreasonable length of time its authorities
take to examine patent applications, particularly biopharmaceutical patents. Although

16

Brazil reports efforts to decrease the average patent pendency in some fields, the overall
average pendency for biopharmaceutical patent applications and its impact on effective
patent term remain areas of serious concern. According to data from the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published in 2025, Brazilian authorities take
an average of 38.4 months to examine a patent application, as compared to 29.5 months
for U.S. authorities or 21.5 months for the “IP5” (United States, the EU, Japan, Korea,
and China). Put differently, patent pendency in Brazil is 30% and 18% longer than in the
United States and the IP5, respectively. For biopharmaceutical patents, the average
pendency is at least 54 to 63.6 months from the date of filing (according to Brazil’s data
on relevant art units), and may be long as 109.7 months from the filing date of the
application (according to some stakeholders).
Brazil has also failed to carry out consistent and continuous anti-piracy measures.
Although Brazil conducts some enforcement campaigns against online piracy with
enforcement officials in other countries, piracy remains widespread, warranting
consistent and continuous enforcement operations throughout the year. Moreover, Brazil
has not joined the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) and WIPO
Copyright Treaty (WCT), collectively known as the WIPO Internet Treaties, which are
aimed at preventing unauthorized access to creative works online. As a result, piracy of
copyrighted content remains a significant barrier to the adoption of legitimate content
distribution channels.
Brazil’s failure to effectively enforce its criminal laws and customs regulations
against counterfeit goods—including a lack of deterrent-level penalties and insufficient
numbers of customs officers posted at border points—undermines investments of U.S.

17

businesses that rely on creativity and innovation, thereby depriving them of fair
commercial opportunities in the Brazilian market. Furthermore, Brazil’s lack of deterrent-
level penalties for counterfeiting enables these illegal practices to continue with
insignificant consequences. With respect to patent pendency, Brazil’s delays can harm
innovators by negatively affecting patent value and reducing the effective patent term,
and these harms are compounded by Brazil’s lack of a patent-term-extension mechanism
to compensate patent-holders for these unreasonable delays. Because the lack of
consistent and continuous enforcement inhibits adoption of legitimate content distribution
channels, Brazil’s failure to combat piracy also harms American workers whose
livelihoods are tied to America’s innovation- and creativity-driven sectors.
The acts, policies, and practices of Brazil with respect to intellectual property
protection and enforcement are unreasonable because Brazil has failed to address
longstanding and serious issues long set out in USTR’s Special 301 reports, including its
failure to sufficiently address counterfeiting, patent pendency, and piracy. The acts,
policies, and practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce because they harm American
workers whose livelihoods are tied to America’s innovation- and creativity-driven sectors
by depriving them of fair commercial opportunities.
E. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Ethanol Market Access
are Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices
with respect to ethanol market access are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.

18

Brazil has discontinued its previously balanced tariff treatment and failed to
reciprocate U.S. tariff treatment of ethanol. In 2010, Brazil took steps to facilitate
bilateral trade in ethanol by suspending a 20% tariff on imports of ethanol. In a similar
spirit of promoting bilateral ethanol trade, the United States allowed the “blender” tax
credit for U.S. ethanol producers and the $0.54/gallon surcharge on ethanol imports to
expire the following year. Bilateral trade in ethanol subsequently flourished, with U.S.
exports of ethanol to Brazil steadily increasing until Brazil abruptly departed from this
reciprocal treatment in 2017. At that time, Brazil instituted a duty-free tariff rate quota
(TRQ) of 600 million liters, with imports above that amount subject to a 20% tariff. This
came after a successful lobbying campaign by the Brazilian sugarcane and ethanol
industries, which claimed that ethanol imports jeopardized domestic Brazilian ethanol
production. Since then, Brazilian tariffs on ethanol have fluctuated, but have been set at
18% since February of 2023. Brazil has the ability to evaluate and change its ethanol
tariff on a monthly basis, which further contributes to uncertainty in the market. Brazil
has therefore abandoned bilateral cooperation to promote ethanol trade, choosing instead
to establish non-reciprocal and unfair conditions for trade in this critical product.
These actions by Brazil have denied fair and equitable market opportunities for
U.S. ethanol producers. Imports of U.S. ethanol into Brazil have generally declined since
Brazil reinstated its tariff on ethanol. In 2025, U.S. exports to Brazil totaled $96 million,
an 87% decrease from the peak export value of $761 million in of 2018. Additionally, in
2024, U.S. ethanol import market share in Brazil had fallen to 54%, from a high of nearly
100% in 2018. At the same time, Brazilian ethanol exporters have continued to benefit
from relatively open U.S. market access. In 2024, U.S. imports of ethanol from Brazil

19

amounted to approximately $203 million dollars, while U.S. exports of ethanol to Brazil
that same year amounted to only $53 million.
In markets that did not impose similar barriers to Brazil, by contrast, U.S. exports
have grown. In 2016 and 2017, prior to Brazil’s imposition of tariffs, U.S. exports to
Brazil and Canada were comparable. For example, in 2017, the United States exported
430 million gallons of ethanol to Brazil and 326 million gallons to Canada. After Brazil’s
reimposition of tariffs in 2017, U.S. exports to Canada continued to grow (reaching 698
million gallons in 2024) while exports to Brazil declined (dropping to 28 million gallons
in 2024).
The acts, policies, and practices of Brazil with respect to ethanol market access
are unreasonable because Brazil has abandoned bilateral cooperation to promote ethanol
trade and Brazil has instead established non-reciprocal and unfair conditions for trade,
which denies fair and equitable market opportunities for U.S. ethanol producers. The acts,
policies, and practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce because U.S. ethanol exports are
increasingly unable to compete in the Brazilian marketplace given Brazil’s high tariffs,
while Brazil exports a significantly greater value of ethanol to the United States.
F. Brazil’s Acts, Policies, and Practices with Respect to Illegal Deforestation are
Actionable
The Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, polices, and practices
with respect to illegal deforestation are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
Despite having a legal framework for combatting illegal deforestation, Brazil has
historically failed to effectively enforce this legal framework, and illegal deforestation

20

persists. For example, under Brazil’s Forest Code (Law No. 12,651/2012), rural
properties are required to register on the Rural Environmental Registry and provide
detailed information that facilitates verification and traceability of legal-origin products.
However, these entries are not adequately audited for fraud and false information, such as
by frequently cross-checking information provided with satellite data. Brazil’s improved
enforcement of the Forest Code and other environmental laws, policies, and regulations
designed to combat illegal deforestation, as well as its investment in the technology that
would facilitate more frequent and effective auditing, have not been sufficient. Reports
indicate that, because of the prevalence of fraud in the timber sector, official documents
are not sufficient to show that Amazonian timber was harvested legally. One 2024 study
that analyzed protected areas throughout the Brazilian Amazon found that Brazil’s
policies failed to adequately prevent land grabbing, illegal ranching, and deforestation.
Deforestation often proceeds in three stages: (1) primary forest is logged or
otherwise deforested to be converted to pastureland for cattle; (2) once that pastureland is
“degraded” the land is converted into a productive field, for crops such as soy and corn;
and (3) having lost previous pastureland and desiring to continue expanding production,
cattle ranchers cut down more primary forest.
Deforestation, both legal and illegal, is closely linked to the production of certain
timber and agricultural products. Estimates indicate that the conversion of land from
primary forest to agricultural production accounts for over 90% of the deforestation (legal
and illegal) in Brazil since 2001, and between 2018 and 2022, cattle ranching drove 78%
of commodity-attributed deforestation. In addition, crops, such as soybeans and corn, are

21

commonly planted on degraded pasture land, allowing those crops to benefit from the
initial deforestation.
Without effective enforcement of environmental laws, loggers and sawmills may
more easily launder illegally harvested timber in global supply chains, while ranchers
may launder cattle ranched on illegally deforested land by transferring them to legitimate
slaughterhouses. Corruption is also an issue, as loggers and ranchers are known to bribe
government officials to obtain necessary approvals and documentation and to pass
inspections and audits.
In addition, there is evidence that some sub-central levels of government are
taking steps to eliminate or roll back tax and other public- and private-sector incentives
designed to discourage deforestation. For example, the state of Mato Grosso, which
covers territory in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, is attempting to eliminate tax
benefits previously available for companies that signed voluntary agreements designed to
combat deforestation (e.g., the Soy Moratorium). This action has already had a chilling
effect, as large multi-national companies have recently begun withdrawing from the Soy
Moratorium, which may weaken the agreement’s impact on deforestation rates. As Brazil
has failed to enforce—and even at times rolled back—its environmental laws,
deforestation has become systemic, reaching a 15-year high in 2021. Deforestation also
occurs across all biomes, and illegal deforestation is known to be particularly problematic
in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes. Reports indicate that, between 2023 and 2024,
some 91% of deforestation in the Amazon was illegal. In the Cerrado biome, where there
are more relaxed legal limits on maintaining forested land, estimates indicate that 51% of
land clearing was illegal between 2023 and 2024.

22

While it is difficult to determine exact estimates of the share of Brazil’s
agricultural production that is grown on illegally deforested land, one 2021 study
estimated that Brazil lost 18 million hectares of forest due to agro-conversion between
2013 and 2019, of which 95% was likely illegal. It is easier and less expensive to produce
agricultural products on the degraded and previously deforested pastureland. This
contributes to more Brazilian agricultural products competing in global markets, which
leads to lower prices for those agricultural products. One study estimated that Brazil
exported $19 billion in forest risk commodities in 2019.
Illegally sourced timber products contribute to distorted global prices, resulting in
the devaluation of U.S. wood products. In general, illegally sourced timber is estimated to
reduce the value of legally sourced timber prices by 7% to 16%.
Brazil’s acts, polices, and practices with respect to illegal deforestation are
unreasonable because they fail to effectively enforce Brazil’s own laws, do not apply
basic checks to ensure consistency with those laws, and promote unfair competition of
Brazilian agricultural and wood products with goods produced without those practices.
Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices burden or restrict U.S. commerce because U.S.
producers are forced to compete with artificially lower-cost Brazilian agricultural
products. When agricultural and timber products produced on illegally deforested land
enter the United States and global markets, this undermines the competitiveness of U.S.
products, resulting in lost revenues and sales for U.S. producers and exporters.
III. Responses to Significant Comments
As discussed above, the Trade Representative has determined that certain of
Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or

23

restrict U.S. commerce, and thus are actionable. Below, USTR responds to comments on
the actionability findings that raise significant issues.
A. Responses to Significant Comments on Digital Trade and Electronic Payment
Services
USTR received several comments regarding this issue area. Numerous
commenters expressed concern with actions by Brazilian courts triggering aggressive
take down of content and issuance of orders that require U.S. companies to remove
content not just in Brazil, but worldwide, including in the United States. Commenters
noted legal uncertainty, operational and compliance risks, and potential market access
barriers for U.S.-based technology companies due to take-down orders by Brazilian
courts and the Brazilian Supreme Court’s decision to declare unconstitutional Brazil’s
statutory requirement of a judicial order before internet service providers could be held
liable for user-generated content.
A number of commenters characterized Brazil’s regulation of digital trade as
motivated by public interest and an attempt to address online hate speech,
misinformation, and violence. Other commenters noted that the liability imposed under
the Brazilian Supreme Court’s June 2025 decision has guardrails to limit the breadth of
liability and that the decision is valid only until new legislation is enacted. However,
these comments did not deny the existence of secret orders from Brazilian courts
directing the take-down of political content and suspension of profiles of U.S. residents,
nor did they dispute the global nature of certain orders issued by Brazilian courts.
With respect to electronic payment services, many commenters noted that the Pix
payment network had successfully expanded access to banks and digital payment

24

methods. However, several commenters noted that the Brazilian central bank faced a
conflict of interest in serving as both the regulator and owner/operator of Pix. One
commenter detailed how this conflict of interest was inconsistent with various global
norms and best practices on good governance. Another commenter described what the
commenter viewed as discriminatory regulations Brazil had implemented to favor Pix.
Although several commenters described their satisfaction with the Pix service or pointed
to Pix’s status within Brazil’s central bank and compliance with Brazilian law, such
comments do not negate concerns regarding the conflict of interest or preferential
treatment afforded to Pix by the Brazilian government.
Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that certain of Brazil’s acts, policies, and
practices with respect to digital trade and electronic payment services at issue in this
investigation are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.
B. Responses to Significant Comments on Unfair, Preferential Tariffs
USTR received several comments regarding this issue area. Certain comments
contended that Brazil’s preferential trade arrangements with Mexico and India are
consistent with WTO rules, including the Enabling Clause that permits certain trade
arrangements between developing country WTO Members. Even assuming the
consistency of Brazil’s preferential trade arrangements with the Enabling Clause, that
does not change the fact that the discrete sectors covered by Brazil’s preferential trade
arrangements with Mexico and India are among those trading partners’ most advanced
and globally competitive or are those in which the United States is also globally
competitive and actively exporting to Brazil.

25

Certain comments contended that Brazil’s tariffs on goods of Mexico and India
are not unfair or preferential because the average effective tariff rate applied to U.S.
exports is lower than that applied to exports from Mexico and India, on account of
various duty suspension or reduction programs. The United States has received no data
supporting this disparity, but even assuming such data exist, the disparity would not
account for the non-automatic nature of duty suspensions and reductions (which are
available only if goods meet legal and regulatory criteria and in some cases receive
advance approval from Brazilian authorities), which stands in contrast to the lower
applied duties available automatically and with certainty to Mexican and Indian goods
(without additional application procedures or approvals).
Comparing average effective tariff rates is also inapposite, as that rate will reflect
the product or sectoral composition of imports from the exporting country. No comments
have suggested that within tariff lines covered by Brazil’s preferential trade
arrangements, U.S. exports to Brazil enjoy lower effective tariff rates on account of
Brazil’s duty suspension or reduction programs.
Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices with
respect to unfair, preferential tariffs are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
C. Responses to Significant Comments on Anti-Corruption Enforcement
USTR received limited comments regarding this issue area. Comments described
Brazil’s legal regime to combat corruption as comprehensive and transparent, pointing to
a number of existing laws and regulations, as well as Brazil’s attempts to update those

26

measures. Comments also suggested that Brazil’s enforcement of this anti-corruption
regime was robust, pointing to the number of proceedings initiated in recent years and
Brazil’s role in global anti-corruption efforts. The existence of these laws and regulations
and even their robust enforcement in certain instances does not refute the evidence in
other instances that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices with respect to anti-corruption
enforcement are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.
Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices with
respect to anti-corruption enforcement are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
D. Responses to Significant Comments on Intellectual Property Protection
USTR received several comments regarding this issue area. Several comments
noted the lack of certain intellectual property protection mechanisms within the Brazilian
system, such as patent term adjustments, particularly for biopharmaceutical products.
These commenters expressed that the lack of such mechanisms denies fair and equitable
opportunities for American biopharmaceutical innovators and in turn undermines the
ability of American biopharmaceutical innovators to compete fairly in the Brazilian
market.
Other commenters expressed that additional intellectual property protection
mechanisms could delay generic competition, keep medicine prices high, and strain
public health programs, especially in developing countries with limited healthcare
funding. One commenter also questioned whether patent holders suffer financial harm
due to long-term patent application pendency.

27

Commenters also acknowledged Brazil’s effort and record of decreasing the
average patent application pendency, but reported that the average patent examination
timeline for such products remained above average. Regarding piracy and counterfeit-
related crimes, commenters noted Brazil had increased enforcement activities conducted
in Rua 25 de Março, while also noting that there remains room for tougher penalties for
counterfeiting.
Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices with
respect to intellectual property protection are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S.
commerce.
E. Responses to Significant Comments on Ethanol Market Access
USTR received several comments regarding this issue area. With respect to tariffs
on ethanol imports, USTR received several comments providing evidence that Brazil’s
ethanol tariffs were unreasonable and discriminatory and burden and restrict U.S.
commerce.
Other comments argued that Brazil’s tariff rates are not unreasonable since they
are within Brazil’s bound rates at the WTO, are lower than the Common External Tariff
on ethanol applied by the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), and are applied on
an MFN basis to countries that do not have a preferential trade agreement with
MERCOSUR. Brazil’s ethanol tariff is nevertheless unreasonable because of Brazil’s
unwarranted departure from bilateral cooperation to promote ethanol trade and because of
Brazil’s establishment of non-reciprocal and unfair conditions for trade in ethanol.

28

Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, polices, and practices with
respect to ethanol market access are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.
F. Responses to Significant Comments on Illegal Deforestation
USTR received many comments regarding this issue area. Most comments
discussed the laws and regulations in place in Brazil that address illegal deforestation,
and many summarized recent actions by the Government of Brazil to improve
enforcement of laws intended to combat illegal deforestation. For example, some
comments included discussion of recent efforts to strengthen enforcement, including
recent technological advances and new regulatory and policy efforts that would combat
and deter illegal deforestation. Even so, as historical data indicates, these efforts could be
undone by future administrations, and rates of illegal deforestation could again increase.
Moreover, these comments do not deny that illegal deforestation in Brazil has occurred
and persists, leading to unfair agricultural and wood products production.
Other comments provided evidence that deforestation in Brazil has contributed to
Brazil’s ability to unfairly increase agricultural output and fraud and corruption remain
common along the value chains of particular products and industries, including beef, soy,
and Amazonian timber. Several comments also provided evidence regarding the burden
or restriction that agricultural products and timber products produced on illegally
deforested land place on U.S. commerce.
Many comments included a discussion of why various products, such as beef, soy,
corn, sugar, cotton, coffee, eucalyptus wood and derivative products, Amazonian timber
and wood products, yerba mate, nuts and dried fruits, carnauba wax, and others, either do

29

or do not contribute to or benefit from illegal deforestation. While discrete products and
industries might not contribute substantially to illegal deforestation or otherwise make
efforts to minimize contributions to illegal deforestation, the fact remains that Brazil has
taken insufficient action at a systemic level to address illegal deforestation or the unfair
trade advantage that arises from it, and Brazil’s lack of effective enforcement of
environmental laws burdens U.S. commerce.
Considering the public comments and the advice of the Section 301 Committee,
the Trade Representative has determined that Brazil’s acts, polices, and practices with
respect to illegal deforestation are unreasonable and burden or restrict U.S. commerce.
IV. Proposed Action to Be Taken in the Investigation
Section 301(b) provides that upon determining that the acts, policies, and
practices under investigation are actionable and that action is appropriate, the Trade
Representative shall take all appropriate and feasible action authorized under section
301(c), subject to the specific direction, if any, of the President regarding such action, and
all other appropriate and feasible action within the power of the President that the
President may direct the Trade Representative to take under section 301(b), to obtain the
elimination of that act, policy, or practice.
Section 301(c) of the Trade Act authorizes the Trade Representative to take
certain actions for purposes of carrying out the provisions of Section 301(b). For
example, Section 301(c)(1)(B) authorizes the Trade Representative to “impose duties or
other import restrictions” on the goods of the foreign country subject to the investigation.
Pursuant to Sections 301(b) and (c), the Trade Representative proposes to determine that
action is appropriate and that appropriate action would include applying tariffs of 25% on

30

all goods of Brazil, with exemptions for certain goods, including informational materials,
donations, accompanied baggage, all articles and parts of articles subject to section 232
tariffs, and certain products identified in the Annex. The proposed exemptions include
raw materials that if subject to the proposed additional tariffs could lead to the
unavailability of domestic supply. They also include products that could cause economy-
wide disruptions if subject to the proposed additional tariffs; and certain products that
cannot be grown or produced in sufficient quantities in the United States or obtained from
other sources. Finally, the proposed exemptions include articles for which additional
tariffs may not contribute substantially to the elimination of Brazil’s acts, policies, and
practices described above.
V. Request for Public Comments
In accordance with section 304(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2414(b)), USTR
invites comments from interested persons with respect to the appropriate action to be
taken. To be assured of consideration, you must submit written comments on the
proposed action by July 1, 2026, in accordance with the instructions in Section VII
below.
With respect to the proposed action, USTR invites comments regarding the scope
of tariff coverage (including the proposed excluded products identified in the Annex).
In considering whether certain articles should be subject to additional duties under
Section 301, USTR will consider the needs of the U.S. economy. In commenting on the
inclusion or removal of particular tariff subheadings subject to the proposed action,
USTR requests that comments address specifically whether the products under the tariff
subheading are necessary raw materials, are available from alternative sources at

31

reasonable prices or sufficient quantities outside of Brazil; whether additional tariffs
would cause serious dislocations in the supply of the products and could cause economy-
wide disruptions, or other similar factors; and whether imposing additional tariffs on
products under the tariff subheading would be practical or effective in obtaining the
elimination of the Brazil’s acts, policies, and practices.
USTR also invites views on the U.S. engagement with Brazil in the context of the
ongoing Special 301 review (19 U.S.C. 2242) and the subjects of that engagement.
Additional instructions on how to submit written comments are provided in
section VII below.
