Find out what they say institutions about losses in Brazil with tariff

99% of what is exported from RS to the US is formed by industrial goods, which should be directly charged. According to FIERGS (Federation of Industries of the State of Rio Grande do Sul), in sales of the gaucho transformation industry, the US market accounts for 11.2%, being the largest commercial partner of the state’s factories. Metal products, machines and electrical materials, wood, leather and shoes and pulp and paper are the most marketed.

Minas Gerais sees with concern the tariff, as exports to the US represent 3.2% of state GDP. The main products exported by the state include coffee (33.1%), iron and steel (29.2%) and machines and electrical materials (4.6%). Regions such as South and Central lead the shipments, especially municipalities such as Guaxupé, Varginha, Sete Lagoas and Belo Horizonte.

Wood, motor vehicles and auto parts, electrical equipment, machinery and furniture are the products most exported by Santa Catarina. According to FIESC (Federation of Industries of Santa Catarina), Madeira, derivatives and furniture should not yet be charged, as the impact of imports of products is under investigation in the US – the so -called section 232, American law that adjust imports of goods or materials if these imports are considered a threat to US national security.

Amazonas sees “limited and gradual” impact. In a statement, CIEAM (Center of the Amazon State Industry) explains that the state is the 18th in the US exports ranking, selling $ 99 million last year, and that the Manaus Free Zone should not feel so intensely the effect of tariff. “However, the” tariff “announced by Trump can have a ripple effect on international trade, with indirect impacts on Brazil. This will depend on the reaction of other countries and the repositioning of global productive chains,” said Luiz Augusto Rocha, president of the CIEAM Superior Council.

Analyzes agree on one point: it is necessary to use diplomacy until the end. The Lide (group of business leaders) defended the creation of the government’s working group, conducted by the vice president and Minister of Development, Commerce, Industry and Services, Geraldo Alckmin. The orange, steel, meat and wood juice sectors also agree with this path.
