U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced new guidance regarding additional tariffs on imports from Brazil, with the new measures becoming effective July 22, 2026.
Important Effective Date
The additional tariffs will apply to all entries entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after July 22, 2026.
Temporary Transit Exception
A temporary exception is available for qualifying shipments that:
- Were loaded onto their final mode of transportation before July 22, 2026, and
- Are entered for consumption before 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 29, 2026.
For purposes of this exception, “on the water” means the goods must already be aboard their final mode of transportation prior to the July 22 effective date.
What You Need to Know
CBP has released implementation guidance outlining new tariff requirements on certain imports from Brazil. These changes may impact duty calculations, entry filing requirements, and overall landed costs for affected importers.
If your company imports products from Brazil, now is a good time to review any shipments currently in transit, as well as those scheduled to depart in the coming days, to determine whether they may be impacted by the July 22 effective date.
