Import tariff

On 24 September 2012, the Brazilian Foreign Trade Council (Camex) reduced the import tariffs on 350 types of capital goods to 2%.200 items are new ex-tarifários while 150 have been renewed.
 
Ex-tarifários are goods with a tariff exception to the Mercosur Common External Tariff (TEC). The goal of this reduced tariff is to restructure Brazil's industrial park and infrastructure services by incentivizing investments in capital or IT and telecommunication goods. Such an ex-tarifário can be invoked in case of non-domestic production of the desired good.
 
The measure, Camex resolution no. 68, came into power on 24 September 2012 and lasts until 30 June 2014.
 
Since the inception of the measure, some capital goods have been retrieved from the measure (see also 'Related Measures'):

  • On 14 November 2012, Camex resolution no. 82 revoked machines for weighing and filling cement bags (Ex 023 of NCM 8422.30.21)
  • On 1 April 2013, Camex resolution no. 17 revoked central drum flexographic printers (Ex 020 of NCM 8443.16.00)
  • On 4 June 2013, Camex resolution no. 39 revoked paving machines (Ex 004 of NCM 8479.10.10)
