Business groups in Brazil and the United States ask Washington to reach a trade deal to address a proposed 25% tariff on Brazilian goods. In a joint letter dated 9 July 2026, Brazil’s industry confederation (CNI), AmCham Brasil, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce write to four U.S. ministers and officials, urging a two-stage approach to market access and related measures. The request is made in the context of a legal timeline in the U.S., where a decision is required by 15 July 2026 under a statutory deadline. The tariff is linked to a Section 301 process stemming from a U.S. investigation. The groups frame their proposal as a way to manage the tariff’s potential impact while seeking a negotiated outcome between the two governments. The sources report that the U.S. must act by the 15 July date on whether to impose the proposed 25% tariff, with the letter serving as an attempt to influence the timing and structure of any resolution.
