Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber executive committee (GECEX) issued Resolution No. 783 on 28 August 2025, published in the Diário Oficial da União on 29 August 2025, amending the "Lista de Autopeças Não Produzidas" (List of Non-Produced Auto Parts) under Resolução Gecex/Camex nº 284/2021. The resolution removed 59 tariff-line exemptions across 33 six-digit NCM subheadings (largely rubber-based auto components such as tyres, tubes, and other rubber semi-manufactures) from the Ex-Tarifário reduced-duty regime, reverting those lines to Brazil's standard Mercosur Common External Tariff rate. In the same instrument GECEX separately added 533 products across 122 subheadings to the reduced-duty list; this filing covers only the duty-increasing revocation component, which Global Trade Alert classifies as a "Red" (trade-restrictive) intervention. The resolution took effect seven days after publication (5 September 2025).

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 783 revised the underlying list's annexes in both directions: it excluded 59 existing exemption lines (33 six-digit NCM subheadings, concentrated in rubber-based components — tyres, tubes, and other rubber semi-manufactures) on the basis that qualifying domestic production now exists, and it added 533 new exemption lines (122 subheadings) for parts still lacking domestic supply. The 59 excluded lines revert to Brazil's standard Mercosur Common External Tariff (TEC) rate.
Downstream implications
- Raises import costs for the 59 revoked rubber-based auto-parts lines,
incentivising sourcing from Mercosur-preference or domestic suppliers
- Part of a recurring GECEX cadence of Ex-Tarifário list rebalancing
(see companion Resolutions 794/795/808/809/823/824/826/842 later in 2025) 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 59 revoked lines not itemised in this
filing; full annex text is in the DOU publication
- Whether the excluded lines correspond to specific domestic producers
