Resolução Gecex nº 821/2025 is a routine tariff-nomenclature maintenance action of the kind Gecex (the executive committee of Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber, under MDIC) issues on a near-weekly cadence, amending the Letec (List of Exceptions to the Common External Tariff, Annex V) and the ACE-14 automotive temporary-exceptions list (Annex X) attached to the base Resolução Gecex nº 272/2021 — the instrument that adapted Brazil's Mercosul Common Nomenclature (NCM) and Common External Tariff (TEC) to the 2022 Harmonized System revision.
Global Trade Alert splits the single Diário Oficial da União publication into four separately-tracked interventions because they move in opposite directions: duty increases on butyl/sodium-polyacrylate inputs and on 16 NCM 9018.90.99 medical-device lines sit alongside a duty cut to zero on a pharmaceutical NCM line and a brand-new tariff-rate quota on a chemical/ pigment product. This mixed harmful/liberalising composition is typical of Brazil's routine tariff bookkeeping and is why severity is set at the low end (2) with a mixed basis — real quantitative duty changes exist on individual lines, but the aggregate action is schedule maintenance, not a protectionist escalation or a strategic industrial-policy grant.
Independent secondary legal-database summaries (LegisWeb, Aduaneiras) corroborate the same four-line structure and product categories (chemical inputs, a pharmaceutical active ingredient, and medical-device components) but report NCM sub-headings and tonnages that could not be independently cross-checked against the DOU full text within this filing's search budget (the in.gov.br DOU page returns a blocked/empty response to automated fetches from this environment); those finer-grained figures are therefore omitted here rather than risk citing an unverified number.
actions (see sibling filings: Gecex 823, 824, 826, 829, 837, 842, 843, 844) that collectively show Brazil actively re-tuning NCM-line duties on a near-weekly basis through Q4 2025.
3004.90.79) and the new chemical/pigment tariff-rate quota are mild input-cost relief for Brazilian downstream manufacturers; the medical- device and polyacrylate duty increases raise input costs for the affected NCM lines.
the precise product description under NCM 9018.90.99 could not be confirmed against the primary DOU text (site blocked automated access); revisit if the full text becomes accessible.
