December 2020 – Tariff Imposition on Brazil Ethanol Imports form the US

Despite the demand for Brazilian fuel was hindered by COVID 19, there has been a reported reduction of domestic supply of anhydrous ethanol during 2020 which necessitates imports to respond to the demand during the 1st quarter of 2021. Despite the demand, all imports of ethanol into Brazil from the USA have been reported to be subjected to a 20% tariff subsequent to the expiry of the Brazilian quota in December 2020 which allowed tariff-free imports of 187,500 cu m of US product. It also because in spite of the import quota extension from September 14, 2020, to December 14 2020 which had the potential to facilitate 187,500 cu m, only 31% of the total quota free of 20% import tax had entered the country which was majorly driven by demand uncertainties and steep depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar that occluded import arbitrage also for the quota market.
