The Regime de Autopeças Não Produzidas (Non-Produced Auto Parts Regime, governed by Resolução Gecex 284/2021 and Lei 13.755/2018) lets Brazilian automakers and parts suppliers import components with no domestic production equivalent at a reduced import-duty rate (commonly close to 0%, versus the Mercosur Common External Tariff otherwise applicable). Companies petition for individual NCM/Ex-tarifário line items; GECEX periodically batches approvals/removals into numbered resolutions — Resolução 795 is one such batch, its 229th Ordinary Meeting output (23 September 2025).
Net effect this round: 2 lines exit the reduced-duty list (reverting to standard MFN/Mercosur rates), 78 enter it — heavily weighted toward electrification (hybrid/EV motors, battery-system parts) and driver- assistance/ECU electronics, reflecting the sourcing gap Brazilian OEMs face as the vehicle fleet electrifies faster than the domestic auto-parts supply chain.
The two-year sunset is the notable procedural change: previously granted Ex-Tarifário lines under this regime had no expiry, requiring a separate revocation resolution (as seen in the companion 2025-09-26 Resolução 794, which revoked six capital-goods/IT lines under a different Ex-Tarifário annex). Attaching an automatic 2027 expiry to the new auto-parts grants shifts the default from "permanent until revoked" to "temporary unless renewed," a lower-friction tool for GECEX to prune the list as domestic production capacity catches up.
EV/hybrid electric motors, battery-system components and ECUs that lack a domestic manufacturer — modestly liberalising at the margin even though GTA flags the overall Ex-Tarifário mechanism red/ distortive (it is a discretionary, product-specific duty carve-out rather than an MFN-wide cut).
China, and others supplying the newly listed NCM lines) gain duty-free or reduced-duty access until the September 2027 sunset, unless individually renewed.
GECEX batches; watch subsequent Ex-Tarifário resolutions for whether the sunset becomes standard practice across all Regime annexes, not just this auto-parts round.
