Importing from Brazil: A Smart Strategy for U.S. Retailers

In 2025, the United States imposed significant tariffs on products imported from China, with rates reaching as high as 145%. While this policy aims to protect domestic industry, it also drastically increases costs for American retailers who rely on Chinese suppliers. For many U.S. importers, this has created a new landscape of elevated expenses and uncertain supply chains.

But there is a smart, strategic alternative: buying from Brazil.

Why Import from Brazil?

1. Lower Tariffs and Competitive Costs: With significantly lower tariffs compared to China, importing from Brazil allows American retailers to remain competitive without compromising their profit margins.

2. Brazilian Industry: Quality, Innovation, and Professionalism: Brazil is home to a modern and diverse industrial base, internationally recognized for its technical expertise, design innovation, and production capacity. Sectors such as home and garden benefit from highly skilled professionals, mastery of raw materials, and a keen eye on global trends. Brazilian manufacturing blends artisanal tradition with advanced technology, delivering reliable, durable, and visually striking products — qualities that are valued by buyers in over 100 countries.

3. Efficient Logistics with Easy Access to the Port of Santos: Brazil's logistics infrastructure is increasingly efficient. Our production facility, for instance, is located just a few hours from the Port of Santos — the largest in Latin America — allowing for fast shipments and significant cost savings. This proximity streamlines exports to the U.S. and other global markets, ensuring shorter lead times and greater delivery reliability.
