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

<bullet> The acts, policies, or practices of Brazil that may
undermine the competitiveness of U.S. companies engaged in digital
trade or electronic payment services.
<bullet> 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.

Unfair, Preferential Tariffs

<bullet> 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.
<bullet> The extent to which Brazil's acts, policies, or practices
discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage U.S. exports and economic
output.

Anti-Corruption Enforcement

<bullet> The extent to which Brazil's enforcement of anti-
corruption measures is not sufficient.
<bullet> 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

<bullet> The acts, policies, or practices of Brazil that deny
adequate and effective protection and enforcement of intellectual
property rights.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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

<bullet> The extent to which Brazil's tariff rates or any related
regulations on ethanol discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage
U.S. ethanol producers.
<bullet> 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

<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> Other acts, policies, or practices of Brazil related to
illegal deforestation that may discriminate against or unfairly
disadvantage U.S. businesses.

General

<bullet> 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.
<bullet> Whether Brazil's acts, policies, and practices identified
in this initiation notice are unreasonable or discriminatory.
<bullet> Whether Brazil's acts, policies, and practices identified
in this initiation notice burden or restrict U.S. commerce,

[[Page 33855]]

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.
<bullet> 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://<a href="https://comments.ustr.gov/s/in">https://comments.ustr.gov/s/in</a> 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 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.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 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

[[Page 33856]]

500,000 accounts and requires that Pix be displayed on participating
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 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 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.
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 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

[[Page 33857]]

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 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.

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 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. 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

[[Page 33858]]

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.
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
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 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 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

[[Page 33859]]

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.
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 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 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.
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

[[Page 33860]]

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 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.
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 Mar[ccedil]o, 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.
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 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.

[[Page 33861]]

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 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 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.
