Brazil’s DS646 filing opens consultations over separate 25% and 12.5% U.S. tariff actions. Only overlapping product schedules reach 37.5%, while the filing leaves current customs charges in force.

USTR’s final Section 301 action took effect today against specified products from 60 economies. Covered EU goods receive a net-of-MFN tariff treatment, leaving no extra levy where the existing rate is already at least 10%.
