Brazil to US Tariff Calculator

Hand it a classification and a shipment value and it returns an estimated duty. The tool pulls the base MFN rate tied to your code, then layers on what Brazilian cargo carries, mainly the Section 232 metals charge and any Section 122 baseline, running each against the value you gave. With no US-Brazil trade deal in place and GSP eligibility gone since the close of 2020, that normal rate applies in full rather than at a preference. What comes back is a planning projection, not an official finding, so lean on it to size an order or vet a mill, then let a broker confirm the heading and any remedy exposure before you file.

First comes the plain MFN duty rate, since Brazil signed no trade deal with the United States and its GSP eligibility ended at the close of 2020. Above that, steel and aluminum can owe a Section 232 charge, though a negotiated quota clears much of Brazil's steel by volume instead of the flat percentage. A Section 122 baseline of 10 percent has reached wide imports, and remedy orders bite specific lines such as OCTG, steel tubing, and orange juice, while sugar enters under its own quota. An IEEPA reciprocal tariff briefly neared 50 percent before it was paused, and the Supreme Court voided the IEEPA duties on February 20, 2026, so the tool counts only what still stands.

The HTS code is the ten-digit line in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule that a US importer files a product under, and for Brazilian cargo it settles more than the rate. It also fixes whether an antidumping or countervailing order, on OCTG, tubing, or orange juice, catches your shipment. Choose it well and the projection means something; choose it badly and you either overpay or underpay into a penalty. The opening six digits are shared worldwide, and the closing four belong to the US alone. Since a heading can separate a clean entry from one snagged by a remedy order, when two codes could plausibly fit, put a licensed broker on the classification before you file or trust the figure.

Give the value the duty is measured on, generally the transaction value, which is the price paid, and often the CIF amount that carries insurance and freight into the port. The Section 232 charge and any baseline both run off that number, so on Brazilian cargo it steers the total as firmly as the rate. Extras like molds, assists, royalties, or packing can push the dutiable figure higher, and how freight counts hangs on your chosen terms. Whatever you type is the base each rate applies to, so a rough guess yields a rough projection. When the valuation gets knotty, a broker can lock the correct base before you plan an order on it.

It runs close, though never to the cent. The calculator builds from the code, the value, and Brazil as origin, while the lodged entry hinges on the settled classification, the checked value, the exact rates and quota terms live on the entry date, and any program the cargo falls under. It leaves aside the merchandise processing and harbor maintenance fees along with brokerage charges, which post on their own lines. Take the number as a planning figure that lands in range, then have a broker confirm the exact duty at filing. Its point is to head off surprises while you are still picking a mill or sizing an order, not to stand in for the formal calculation.

Often enough to catch importers out. The schedule rate holds fairly still, but the Section 232 metals program, the quota terms Brazil clears steel under, and any remedy order all get revised on review cycles and policy swings, sometimes on short notice. The IEEPA reciprocal tariff on Brazil briefly neared 50 percent, then paused, and the Supreme Court voided those IEEPA duties on February 20, 2026. What was right last quarter can read wrong this one. So the calculator tracks whatever is live, and the tariff tracker beside it watches the Brazilian codes you buy and warns you the moment a quota term or remedy rate on one of them moves.

It applies Section 232 where it lands and marks IEEPA where it matters. Past the normal rate, Brazilian steel and aluminum can owe a Section 232 charge, part of it cleared under quota rather than the flat percentage, and that charge stacks over the base. The IEEPA reciprocal tariff on Brazil briefly neared 50 percent before the pause, and the Supreme Court voided the IEEPA duties on February 20, 2026, so the tool will not charge a rate that no longer stands. It signals when your code might sit under one of these programs and counts the duty where the figure is firm. Given how the quota and remedy picture keeps turning, this is the spot a broker review pays for itself.

Because for a lot of Brazilian cargo the normal rate is only the opening layer. That rate, paid by every WTO origin, runs low or free on plenty of goods. On covered metals a Section 232 charge stacks over it, and a Section 122 baseline or a remedy order can pile more onto specific lines like steel tubing or orange juice. A code with a small base rate can therefore finish much higher once the metals or remedy layers land. That is exactly why a bill built on the schedule rate alone deceives. Layer by layer the calculator adds every charge that applies against your shipment value, so the total it prints is what actually comes due at the port.

It gives you the Brazil to US duty on a product, and lining that up next to another origin is a routine sourcing move. Because Brazil sits outside any US trade deal, the same code from a USMCA partner like Mexico or Canada might clear at a lower or zero rate, which can tilt the landed-cost picture. When you want a proper grid across several codes or origins, the tariff simulator was built for it, while this calculator keeps to one fast Brazil pass. Even so, duty is only one slice of landed cost beside freight, timing, and quality, so weigh the Brazil figure as an input, not the verdict.

Each suits a different stage. The calculator is a one-shipment pass: a single code, a single value, Brazil as origin, and a duty back in seconds. The tariff simulator runs a range of codes, values, and origins in parallel, so you can map a whole catalog or see how a sourcing move reshapes landed cost. Most people take a fast Brazil reading here first, then move up to the simulator once they are planning across a shelf of SKUs or testing a supplier change. Both rest on the same brokerage-maintained rate logic, so the figures line up from this quick pass to the wider study you run afterward.

Work outward from the item, its material, its purpose, how it is put together, because that is what fixes its slot in the schedule. Search by its description down to a chapter and heading, and on to the full ten digits. On Brazilian cargo the danger is that a product straddles two headings, and the wrong pick moves both the normal rate and whether a remedy order on steel or juice attaches. Description search helps, but for a blended-material item, a novelty, or a set, put a broker on the code. Since the rate and any remedy exposure both ride on the classification, a brief review now beats a costly correction after the cargo has sailed.

It is free and handy for early planning, yet the actual US entry must go in through a licensed customs broker, or a self-filer who holds the qualification, and that broker stands behind the classification and the value the figure leans on. Most Brazil importers screen the decision here, then hand a broker the code, the value, and any 232 quota or remedy order to confirm before filing. That is sharpest on big-ticket loads and shaky headings, where a bad guess costs real money. Since the brokerage is part of CargoTrans, the figure you run and the entry we lodge on your Brazilian cargo stay inside one team, with no gap between them.

Duty leads and swings the most on Brazilian cargo, but it brings company. Federal charges cover a merchandise processing fee, with a harbor maintenance fee added for sea freight, each collected at entry. Around those sit brokerage charges, the overseas and inland freight legs, cargo insurance, and any storage or handling after arrival. The calculator sticks to the duty tiers, the base rate, Section 232, and any baseline or remedy order, since those are what really move by product and origin. For a genuine landed cost, stack the federal charges and your freight spend onto the duty. Our team can assemble the whole thing so a Brazil call reflects the real outlay, not just the tariff.

It keeps nothing. The tool runs with no sign-in, so you drop in a code and a value and read the Brazil duty without an account. Built for quick passes rather than filing cabinets, it leaves saving to you, so copy anything worth keeping into your own landed-cost sheet. If you would rather have your regular Brazilian codes watched for quota or remedy moves, or a broker to look a heading over and confirm the charge, then open an account with our team and switch the tariff tracker on. For one Brazil pass, use it openly and anonymously, and get back to us whenever a figure needs a second look.
