Notice of Determination and Request for Comments Concerning Action Pursuant to Section 301: Brazil's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Digital Trade and Electronic Payment Services; Unfair, Preferential Tariffs; Anti-Corruption Enforcement; Intellectual Property Protection

USTR has made an affirmative Section 301 determination against Brazil, meaning tariff actions or other trade measures on Brazilian-origin goods or services are now a live possibility. Importers sourcing from Brazil—across any goods category—face potential additional duties pending the outcome of the comment period and subsequent USTR action.

The determination covers Brazil specifically, targeting practices in digital trade, electronic payment services, preferential tariff structures, anti-corruption enforcement, and intellectual property protection. No HS-level product scope has been publicly defined yet; the breadth of the cited practices suggests exposure could extend across multiple goods and services categories.
