On February 18, 2011, the Government of Brazil announced the amendment of the Most Favored Nation (MFN) import duties applicable to certain amino-resins, articles of apparel, molds for rubber or plastics and trailers and semi-trailers.

The measure has been introduced by Brazil's Foreign Trade Council (Camex) and is based on Camex resolution no. 7 of 17 February 2011. It affects the following items:

  • Amino-resins (NCM 3909.30.20): tariff increased from 14% to 20%
  • Sanitary latex gloves (Ex 001 of NCM 4015.19.00): tariff increased from 16% to 35%
