Brazil: Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber Rejects the Request to Remove Ethanol Import Tariff
On October 17, 2024, the Tariff Changes Committee (CAT) of the Chamber of Foreign Trade (Camex) rejected the request made by the Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers (ABICOM) and the U.S. Grains Council to remove the 18 percent tariff on ethanol imports to Brazil. This is the second time CAMEX has denied a request to reduce the ethanol tariff since its implementation in February 2023.
