TL;DR Summary
The USTR has determined under Section 301 that certain Brazilian acts and policies—covering digital trade and electronic payments, unfair tariffs, anti-corruption enforcement, IP protection, ethanol market access, and illegal deforestation—are unreasonable or discriminatory and burden U.S. commerce, making them actionable. The agency is proposing responsive actions and inviting public comment, with a hearing set for July 6, 2026; written comments due by July 1, 2026, and requests to appear by June 22, 2026. A July 15, 2026 deadline applies for taking responsive action as USTR continues engagement with Brazil to resolve concerns.
