The Brazilian Agriculture and Livestock Confederation (CNA) states that around 36.5% of Brazilian agribusiness exports to the United States should be affected by the additional tariff of 25% announced by the American government, scheduled to come into force next Wednesday (22). ??

Send it to g1 According to the entity, the expansion of the list of exempt products reduced the scope of the measure on the sector, but part of Brazilian sales to the American market will continue to be subject to the charge. "The CNA received with concern the result of the investigation conducted by the US government," said the entity's director of International Relations, Sueme Mori, in a video released by the entity. ? The charge is part of the decision announced by the US government at the end of a commercial investigation involving Brazilian products. The measure provides for an additional tariff of 25% on part of imports from Brazil, but maintained a list of exceptions for certain products. Despite this, she highlighted that 63.5% of the value exported by Brazilian agribusiness to the USA will be excluded from the additional tariff after the inclusion of new products in the list of exceptions. Among the items that are no longer taxed are fish, honey and instant coffee. According to Mori, the expansion of exceptions was the result of the work of the CNA and other private sector entities with the American government. "This result is the result of the work carried out by CNA and other representatives of the private sector, who worked directly with the American government in the technical defense of Brazilian agricultural interests", he said. Trump tariff: see the list of products that were exempt and those that will be impacted by the new tax Measure 'ignores reality': sugar and ethanol sector reacts to the US tariff Products remain on the charging list Even after the expansion of exceptions, products such as wood, rice, grapes, eggs and sugar continue to be subject to the additional tariff. According to the CNA, these products accounted for around US$4.6 billion in Brazilian exports to the USA in 2025. The entity also drew attention to the justification presented by the American government for expanding the list of exceptions. According to US authorities, some Brazilian products were spared from the tariff because they are important for the country's industry, there is insufficient supply in the domestic market and the taxation could affect sectors considered strategic in the economy. Entity defends exclusion of agricultural products Mori stated that the CNA followed the investigation from the beginning, presenting technical studies, participating in public consultations and hearings held in Washington. According to her, the confederation sought to show American authorities that the competitiveness of Brazilian agribusiness "does not result from unfair trade practices, but rather from gains in productivity, innovation and investments made over decades." Throughout the process, the CNA also defended that Brazilian agricultural products be removed from the measure. For the entity, Brazil and the USA maintain complementary production chains and a commercial relationship considered strategic for both countries. Regarding the next steps, Mori stated that the confederation will continue to monitor the case and look for alternatives to reduce the impacts of the measure on the sector. "CNA believes in constructive dialogue and will continue to work in defense of the Brazilian agricultural sector, supporting affected production chains and seeking solutions that preserve and strengthen the commercial relationship between Brazil and the USA", he concludes.
