Brazilian government reduces import tariffs on ICT and capital goods

The Brazilian Foreign Trade Chamber (CAMEX) issued Resolutions No. 14 and 15/2018, reducing to zero percent the import tax on capital goods (780 items) and computer and telecommunications goods (50 items). The tariff reductions that entered into force on February 28th under the Brazilian Ex-tarifário regime are temporary and will be in place until December 31st, 2019 as established by the new resolutions.

The Brazilian Ex-tarifário regime consists of the temporary reduction of the tax on imports of goods when there is no equivalent national production. The special customs regime is intended to promote a reduction in the cost of investments and to produce a multiplier effect on employment and income on differentiated segments of the national economy. Camex Resolution No. 66/2014 established the rules for the concession of the Ex-tarifário regime.
