US Imposes 10% Tariff on Brazilian Imports, Sparking Trade Tensions and Potential Retaliatory Measures

Earlier this year, the Trump administration rolled out a flat 10% tariff on imports from all countries, including Brazil. This applied as of April 10 and is currently in effect after a 90-day pause on earlier country-specific rates. While China and Hong Kong are subject to a much higher 30% rate under a temporary deal, for Brazil and most of the world, that flat 10% is the key figure as of today. Reports from Passport Global indicate this sweeping tariff is part of President Trump’s commitment to what he calls “reciprocal trade” policy, designed to ensure trading partners impose rates similar to those the U.S. faces in their markets.
Brazil’s government immediately responded, voicing strong regret and arguing that the new tariffs violate U.S. commitments under the World Trade Organization. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that the U.S. has long run a substantial trade surplus with Brazil, $28.6 billion last year when counting both goods and services — one of the largest U.S. surpluses worldwide. Brazil’s officials say this context makes the “reciprocity” justification questionable, stressing the impact on Brazilian exporters and workers.
In response to the U.S. move, Brazil has published a new Economic Reciprocity Law, allowing its government to impose countermeasures on imports from countries that take unilateral actions against Brazilian goods or investments. While the law paves the way for potential retaliatory tariffs or trade barriers, Brazilian officials have emphasized their preference for dialogue and negotiation to roll back the U.S. tariffs. The law notably allows Brazil to suspend trade concessions, restrict imports, or even limit intellectual property obligations if necessary, aiming to protect Brazilian interests without immediately escalating the trade dispute further.
Meanwhile, there’s a broader context weighing on Brazil: special envoys from the Trump administration have warned that Brazil could lose out if the growing U.S.-China trade relationship leads Beijing to increase its imports of American agricultural goods, potentially squeezing Brazil’s own exports to China. There are also concerns that global supply chains are being reshuffled, which could affect Brazilian value-added exports, especially manufactured goods.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for further developments, including whether Brazil will take its case to the WTO or enact its own reciprocal measures, and whether the U.S. will adjust its approach as negotiations continue.
