U.S.–Brazil Trade

President Trump signed an executive order on Nov. 14, 2025 rolling back tariffs on dozens of food items — including beef, coffee and tea, tropical fruits and juices, cocoa, spices, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, certain nuts and some fertilizers — saying the move reflects U.S. supply capacity and will help lower consumer prices, a claim echoed by White House officials and praised by some industry groups while others criticized exclusions. A separate order specifically exempts Brazilian beef, coffee and other goods from the 40% tariff imposed in July for imports on or after Nov. 13, potentially triggering refunds for duties already paid and citing progress in U.S.–Brazil trade negotiations.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday removing a 40% tariff he imposed in July on Brazilian beef, coffee and other goods, citing progress in trade talks with Brazil. The order applies to imports entering the U.S. on or after Nov. 13 and may entitle businesses that paid the duties to refunds, following last week’s broader food‑tariff rollback.
