Brazil's Foreign Ministry said on July 27 local time that Brazil has again requested consultations with the United States under World Trade Organization dispute-settlement rules over recent U.S. tariff measures, according to Jiemian News. The ministry said the U.S. first imposed a 25% tariff on about 4,100 Brazilian goods on July 22, and then added a 12.5% tariff last Friday on 46 economies, including Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea and India, over forced-labor allegations. Together, the extra duties can lift the total tariff rate on some Brazilian exports to as high as 37.5%.
Brazil's finance ministry said Brazil imported $42.41 billion from the U.S. in 2024 and exported $40.33 billion to the U.S. The article said Washington has also tied the tariffs to political disputes involving former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government. Brazil had already filed a WTO consultation request in July 2025 after the U.S. announced an additional 40% tariff on some Brazilian goods, which brought the total rate on some products to 50% when combined with a 10% global reciprocal tariff at the time.
