Two days later, the global surcharge expires. For importers, the wait begins once again for the next tariff regulation. --- US customs policy is currently changing almost faster than freight forwarders and customs brokers can update their master data. Since July 22, 2026, an additional US tariff of 25 percent has applied to a large portion of goods originating from Brazil. This is based on Section 301 of US trade law. This rule permits countermeasures against trading partners whose practices are classified by the US as unfair or discriminatory. The tariff generally applies to Brazilian goods but contains numerous exceptions. These include certain raw materials, pharmaceutical products, civil aviation products, and goods that already fall under individual Section 232 tariffs. Consequently, it is not only the country of origin that matters, but the precise US tariff schedule number. For goods already shipped, strict transit rules apply. The goods must have been loaded onto the final means of transport before July 22 at 00:01 US Eastern Time. Additionally, import must occur no later than July 29 at 00:01. Only then can the exception be utilized. Simultaneously, the general Section 122 surcharge of 10 percent expires on July 24 at 00:01. This tariff was introduced on February 24 for a maximum of 150 days. Without renewal by the US Congress, the legal basis expires automatically. For Brazilian goods, this creates a special transition period: On July 22 and 23, the old surcharge of 10 percent and the new Brazil tariff of 25 percent can apply simultaneously. From July 24 onward, the Section 122 component will no longer apply under current circumstances. What comes next remains uncertain. The US Trade Representative (USTR) has already proposed new Section 301 tariffs against 60 economies. Depending on the country, rates of 10 or 12.5 percent are envisioned. Switzerland is also included in the proceedings and would fall into the 12.5 percent group under the current proposal. However, these tariffs are not yet in effect. This is precisely where the practical problem lies: announcements, proposals, resolutions, and actual implementation are mixed together in many reports. Those who calculate using outdated information risk incorrect cost bases and subsequent charges. --- For US shipments, it is no longer sufficient to verify the origin and tariff number just once. Dispatch must additionally clarify: When is the import released for free circulation? Is the goods already on the final means of transport? Does a transit rule apply? Is the product listed in an exception list? Are multiple additional duties being cumulated? Who bears the additional costs according to the terms of delivery and purchase contract? The decisive factor is generally the so-called "Entry for Consumption", i.e., the import for consumption, or the removal from a customs warehouse. The ship's arrival date, the flight departure, or the invoice date alone are not decisive. For shippers, this means: Offers with US relevance should currently only be submitted subject to customs reservation. For DDP transactions, the seller bears a particularly high risk because they frequently act as the importer or economic cost bearer. In short: Anyone handling US transport must check customs developments almost daily and cannot yet calculate based on announced tariff rates as if they were existing law. --- The new Brazil tariff amounts to 25 percent. It has been in effect since July 22, 2026 at 00:01 US Eastern Coast Time. The legal basis is Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The tariff applies broadly to Brazilian goods but contains extensive exemptions. A transit rule applies to goods loaded in time that are imported before July 29. The global Section 122 surcharge of 10 percent expires on July 24, 2026 at 00:01 US Eastern Coast Time. During the overlap period, affected Brazilian goods may incur an additional 35 percent tariff. New global Section 301 tariffs of 10 and 12.5 percent respectively have only been proposed to date. According to the current proposal, goods from Switzerland are subject to 12.5 percent. A final start date and the definitive structure of the global successor regulation have not yet been published. ## Related Entities ### Countries - [United States of America](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/us) - [Brazil](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/br) ### Glossary - [Import](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/import) - [Import](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/import-2) - [Importer](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/importer-2) - [Supply chain](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/supply-chain-2) - [Freight forwarder](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/freight-forwarder) - [Supply Chain](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/supply-chain) - [Means of transport](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/means-of-transport) - [Goods](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/goods) - [Customs duty](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-duty) - [Customs Agent](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-agent) - [Customs tariff number](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-tariff-number-2) - [Importer of Record (IOR)](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/importer-of-record-ior) - [Countervailing Duty USA](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/countervailing-duty-usa) - [Brazilian Customs Tariff (TIPI)](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/brazilian-customs-tariff-tipi) - [entry into force](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/entry-into-force) - [Master Data](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/master-data) - [DDP external trade risk](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/ddp-external-trade-risk) - [Section 301](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/section-301) - [Section 122](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/section-122) - [Non-preferential Origin](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/non-preferential-origin) --- *Canonical URL: [https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/us-zoelle-im-tagesrhythmus-brasilien-startet-globale-loesung-bleibt-offen-20260722182610](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/us-zoelle-im-tagesrhythmus-brasilien-startet-globale-loesung-bleibt-offen-20260722182610)* *Markdown mirror: [https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/us-zoelle-im-tagesrhythmus-brasilien-startet-globale-loesung-bleibt-offen-20260722182610](https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/us-zoelle-im-tagesrhythmus-brasilien-startet-globale-loesung-bleibt-offen-20260722182610)*
