Brazil import tax reductions on specific goods

Overview

Brazil has implemented a zero-rate import tax on specific categories of goods, including various musical instruments and domestic sewing machines. This policy change, established via Resolution 926/2026 by the Executive Management Committee of the Foreign Trade Chamber (Gecex/Camex), aligns Brazilian law with Mercosul Common Market Group decisions.

In the musical sector, the previous 18% tariff has been eliminated for microphones and acoustic string and wind instruments, such as violins, cellos, guitars, harps, trumpets, trombones, clarinets, and accordions.

Additionally, the import tax on domestic sewing machines has been reduced from 20% to zero. While these machines are classified for domestic use, they are also utilized by small businesses in the textile industry. Unlike previous provisional measures that relied on quotas, this tax reduction is now definitive and carries no quantity limits.
