This article discusses an executive order issued by the President that modifies tariffs on certain goods imported from Brazil. This decision follows a prior declaration of a national emergency concerning policies from the Brazilian government that were considered a threat to U.S. national security and its economy. As part of ongoing negotiations aimed at resolving these issues, the administration has decided to lift additional tariffs on specific agricultural products, effective November 13, 2025.

In consultation with various cabinet members and trade representatives, the President has determined that these modifications reflect progress in negotiations with Brazil. After initial recommendations identified the need for revising the tariffs, the administration has taken steps to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, ensuring that certain agricultural imports from Brazil are exempt from the higher tariff rates.

The executive order also establishes provisions for monitoring the situation and emphasizes the collaborative efforts among various government departments involved in trade and national security. It highlights the administration’s commitment to address international trade issues while protecting U.S. interests, and sets the framework for ongoing assessment of the tariffs as negotiations continue.
