Brazil Expands Exports to the U.S., but Tariff Impacts Remain Uncertain

The bilateral trade flow between Brazil and the United States—the sum of exports and imports—reached US$27.2 billion from January to April 2025, marking a 9.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. According to the Brazil-U.S. Trade Monitor by Amcham Brasil, this is the highest value ever recorded for the year’s first four months. However, Amcham warns that April’s figures are still insufficient to assess the effects of the recent U.S. tariff increases fully.

“We’ll need to monitor the coming months to understand better how these measures will impact bilateral trade,” the organization stated.

According to the report, Brazilian exports to the U.S. totaled US$13.1 billion, up 3.7%, while imports from the U.S. rose 14.6% to US$14.1 billion, resulting in a US$1 billion trade deficit for Brazil in the period.

In April alone, Brazil exported US$3.6 billion to the United States—a 21.9% increase over April 2024. The growth was driven primarily by higher sales of beef, orange juice, aircraft, and roasted coffee, among other products.

“Building a more predictable trade environment, grounded in open dialogue, is essential for the Brazil-U.S. partnership to continue generating value, innovation, and jobs,” said Abrão Neto, Executive Vice President of Amcham Brasil.
