Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber executive committee (GECEX) issued Resolution No. 750, dated 3 July 2025 and published in the Diário Oficial da União on 4 July 2025, amending the "Lista de Autopeças Não Produzidas" (List of Non-Produced Auto Parts) under Resolução Gecex/Camex nº 284/2021. The resolution excluded 532 tariff-line/ ex-number combinations from Annex I and 33 from Annex II — reverting those lines (concentrated in rubber-based auto components such as tyres, tubes, and other rubber semi-manufactures) to Brazil's standard Mercosur Common External Tariff rate — while adding 284 new duty-reduction-eligible codes across Annexes III and IV. The amendment took effect seven days after publication (11 July 2025). Global Trade Alert classifies the measure as a "Red" (trade- restrictive) import-tariff intervention on the basis of its net duty-increasing exclusions.

Analyst notesShow

Mechanism

GECEX administers Brazil's Regime de Autopeças Não Produzidas (Resolução Gecex/Camex nº 284/2021), which grants reduced import duties on auto-parts tariff lines for which no equivalent domestic production exists. Resolution 750 revised the underlying list's four annexes in both directions: it excluded 532 tariff-line/ex-number combinations from Annex I and 33 from Annex II (concentrated in rubber-based components — tyres, tubes, and rubber semi-manufactures) on the basis that qualifying domestic production now exists, reverting those lines to the standard Mercosur Common External Tariff (TEC) rate; it separately added 284 new exemption-eligible codes across Annexes III and IV for parts still lacking domestic supply.

The resolution was issued the same day as the companion capital-goods Ex-Tarifário Resolution 745 (filed separately in this register), reflecting GECEX's routine, high-frequency Ex-Tarifário rebalancing cycle — the same family as companion resolutions 756, 768, 770, 772, 779, 782, 783, 794, 795, 808, 809, 811, 823, 826, 842 filed elsewhere in this register across 2025-26.

Downstream implications

Raises import costs for the 565 revoked auto-parts lines (mostly

rubber-based components), incentivising sourcing from Mercosur-preference or domestic suppliers; GTA flags Australia, Austria and Belgium among the most trade-exposed partners in the affected lines.

Part of a recurring GECEX cadence of Ex-Tarifário list rebalancing that

alternately expands and prunes the non-produced-parts exemption list as Brazil's domestic auto-parts manufacturing base grows.

Open questions

Exact NCM subheadings for the 565 excluded and 284 included lines not

itemised in this filing; full annex text is in the DOU publication, which was not directly reachable during this research pass.

Whether the excluded lines correspond to specific domestic producers

newly certified as supplying equivalent parts.
