Estados Unidos — Carne de Aves

changed: On 20 February 2026, the U.S. Administration issued a proclamation imposing a temporary 10% ad valorem import surcharge on most goods entering the United States for a period of 150 days, effective 24 February 2026. The surcharge targets imports into the United States across all sectors, with certain exemptions. The measure excludes goods qualifying under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) and contains special provisions for certain goods qualifying under CAFTA-DR (see related intervention). The surcharge announced under this proclamation shall not apply to the following products, as detailed in the annexes of the proclamation (Annex I & II). Certain critical minerals; Metals used in currency and bullion; Energy and energy products; Natural resources and fertilisers not produced in the United States in sufficient quantities to meet domestic demand; Certain agricultural products, including beef, tomatoes, and oranges; Pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients; Certain electronics; Passenger vehicles, certain light trucks, certain medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and certain parts of passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and buses; Certain aerospace products; Information materials, donations, and accompanied baggage; All articles and parts subject to additional import restrictions under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862). The measure was adopted under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to address a “large and serious balance-of-payments deficit.” According to the proclamation, these international payments problems harm U.S. economic and national security interests. The surcharge applies in addition to existing duties. While the surcharge does not apply to imports already subject to Section 232 tariffs, where a Section 232 measure applies only to specific content (steel, aluminium, and copper content), the surcharge applies to the value of the non-covered portion of the product. The import surcharge will remain in effect until 24 July 2026, unless it is suspended, modified, terminated earlier, or extended by an Act of Congress. The United States Trade Representative is directed to monitor the situation and recommend further action if warranted. The measure follows an Executive Order of 20 February 2026 terminating additional ad valorem duties on imports from various countries (see related state act). That Executive Order was issued “in light of” the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) of the same date, which held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorise the President to impose tariffs.; new: On 2 April 2026, the U.S. Administration announced modifications to existing Section 232 tariffs on aluminium, steel, and copper imports, extending the duties to the full customs value of affected products effective 6 April 2026. The measure maintains ad valorem tariff rates of 50% on most aluminium, steel, and certain copper articles. Previously, these tariffs applied only to the metal content of the products, while the non-metal content remained subject to other applicable tariffs, including those under Section 122. Following the modification, Section 232 duties apply to the entire product value, and these goods are no longer subject to Section 122 tariffs.; new: On 7 May 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade, in a 2-1 decision (Slip Op. 26-47), ruled that Proclamation No. 11012 was issued without legal authority. The majority found that the President invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 on the wrong basis, relying on the U.S. trade and current account deficits rather than the type of balance-of-payments deficit Congress had in mind when it enacted the statute in 1974. The court ordered the tariffs lifted and duties refunded for the three importer plaintiffs with standing (Burlap and Barrel, Inc., Basic Fun, Inc., and the State of Washington), while dismissing the claims of 23 other state plaintiffs for lack of standing and declining to block the tariff nationwide. The 10% surcharge therefore remains in force for all other importers pending the U.S. Government's expected appeal to the Federal Circuit.; new: On 12 May 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit paused the CIT's ruling and consolidated the Government's two appeals into one. Proclamation No. 11012 therefore remains in force for all importers — including the three plaintiffs who had initially won at the CIT — until the Federal Circuit issues its next decision.

static: On 30 July 2025, the United States issued an executive order establishing a new duty system for international postal shipments, effective 29 August 2025. As a result, shipments valued at USD 800 or less, which previously could enter the country free of duties, are now subject to a new duty. This provision applies to all international postal shipments, with the duty calculated based on the effective IEEPA tariff rate of the country of origin. For the application of this duty, transportation carriers delivering shipments to the United States through the international postal network must choose between an ad valorem duty or a specific duty. If a carrier chooses the specific duty, it must pay a flat-rate duty per package, with the amount depending on the IEEPA tariff rate of the country of origin. (For the details of the ad valorem duty, please see related intervention). Specifically, a specific duty will be applied to each package based on the IEEPA tariff rate for the product’s country of origin. For countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate of less than 16 percent, the duty will be USD 80 per item. For the duty rates for countries with an effective IEEPA tariff between 16 and 25 percent (inclusive) or above 25 percent, please see the related interventions. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs covered in this Order include reciprocal tariffs (EO 14257, as amended) (see related state act), border tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico (EO 14193 and EO 14194) (see related state acts), and fentanyl-related tariffs targeting China (EO 14195 and other Executive Orders) (see related state act). The Order also states that its provisions supersede the previously announced rules for low-value imports from China and Hong Kong (EO 14256) (see related state act) and that the tariff stacking rules set out in EO 14289 will apply. The specific duty can be selected for a period of six months. Afterwards, all shipments to the US through the international postal network must comply with the ad valorem duty methodology. Update On 15 August 2025, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a guidance about the operational procedures for implementing the suspension of de minimis treatment for international mail. This document establishes a rule for mixed-origin packages, specifying that when carriers use the temporary flat-rate duty method, the duty for the entire package will be determined by the highest IEEPA tariff rate applicable to any single item within it. The guidance provides a definitive end date for this flat-rate duty option, mandating that all postal shipments must use the percentage-based ad valorem duty method effective 28 February 2026. Furthermore, the document explicitly prohibits the use of this new simplified duty process for any shipments subject to antidumping, countervailing duties, or quotas, which must continue using standard entry procedures.

static: On 30 July 2025, the United States issued an executive order universally suspending the duty-free de minimis treatment for all imported shipments, effective 29 August 2025. This action suspends the provision under U.S. law that previously allowed shipments valued at USD 800 or less to enter the country free of duties. While the suspension applies to all modes of transport, the order establishes two distinct implementation systems. Low-value imports arriving via standard commercial carriers will now be subject to all applicable duties and formal customs entry requirements. For international postal shipments, the order establishes a new duty system that applies to all low-value items, regardless of their country of origin. The new duty amount is calculated based on the effective IEEPA tariff rate of the product's country of origin. For the application of this duty, transportation carriers must choose between an ad valorem duty or a specific duty. If a carrier chooses the ad valorem duty, it must pay the applicable IEEPA tariff. (For the details of the specific duty, please see related intervention). The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs covered in this Order include reciprocal tariffs (EO 14257, as amended) (see related state act), border tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico (EO 14193 and EO 14194) (see related state acts), and fentanyl-related tariffs targeting China (EO 14195 and other Executive Orders) (see related state act). The Order also states that its provisions supersede the previously announced rules for low-value imports from China and Hong Kong (EO 14256) (see related state act) and that the tariff stacking rules set out in EO 14289 will apply. Previously, on 4 July 2025, the U.S. Administration issued the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” (OBBB), which repeals the provision of the Tariff Act of 1930 that allows a de minimis exemption for commercial shipments, effective 1 July 2027. The present Order serves as an interim measure until the de minimis exemption is permanently repealed. Update On 15 August 2025, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a guidance about the operational procedures for implementing the suspension of de minimis treatment for international mail. This document establishes a rule for mixed-origin packages, specifying that when carriers use the temporary flat-rate duty method, the duty for the entire package will be determined by the highest IEEPA tariff rate applicable to any single item within it. The guidance provides a definitive end date for this flat-rate duty option, mandating that all postal shipments must use the percentage-based ad valorem duty method effective 28 February 2026 (see related interventions). Furthermore, the document explicitly prohibits the use of this new simplified duty process for any shipments subject to antidumping, countervailing duties, or quotas, which must continue using standard entry procedures. On 1 September 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection published its official notice implementing the President's executive order. This notice formalises the operational changes, specifically mandating the termination of the simplified Entry Type 86 process previously used for low-value shipments. Furthermore, the notice introduces a new requirement for all carriers of international postal shipments to secure an international carrier bond to ensure duty remittance. The implementation also clarifies that the suspension of de minimis treatment does not apply to certain exempted articles, specifically donations and informational materials as defined under U.S. law.; new: On 24 June 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued an interim final rule amending 19 CFR 10.151 to indefinitely suspend, under CBP's own statutory authority, the de minimis exemption for merchandise valued at USD 800 or less arriving via all modes other than the international postal network, effective the same day. The rule codifies the existing suspension without altering its scope or applicable duties and remains in force independently of Executive Order 14324 until the statutory repeal of the de minimis exemption on 1 July 2027.

static: On 30 July 2025, the U.S. Administration issued an Executive Order imposing an additional 40% duty on most imports from Brazil. The measure was introduced in response to actions by the Government of Brazil that were deemed to threaten U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic interests. The additional duties apply to the majority of Brazilian imports, with limited exceptions. The measure will enter into force seven days after the date of the order, on 6 August 2025. The additional duties will be imposed on top of other applicable tariffs, including a 10% reciprocal tariff on Brazil, with certain exceptions. These exceptions include: Goods listed in Annex I to the order, such as certain silicon metal, pig iron, civil aircraft and parts thereof, metallurgical-grade alumina, tin ore, wood pulp, precious metals, energy and energy products, and fertilisers. Goods subject to existing or future actions under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, including tariffs on steel, aluminium and their derivative products, automobiles and auto parts, copper, and copper-derivative products. Goods exempt under 50 U.S.C. § 1702(b), including personal communications and informational materials. The Executive Order was issued under U.S. laws that allow the President to respond to foreign threats, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act. It declares a national emergency due to the actions of the Government of Brazil. According to the Order, the tariff may be increased, reduced, or removed depending on Brazil’s actions or other changes in the situation. Previously, on 2 April 2025, the U.S. Administration announced reciprocal tariffs on most countries, including Brazil. As of 5 April 2025, a baseline tariff rate of 10% was applied to imports from Brazil (see related state act). On 9 July, the U.S. Administration announced an additional 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, whose implementation was subject to further legislative procedures (see related state act).; changed: Update On 20 November 2025, the U.S. Administration issued an executive order modifying the scope of tariffs imposed on imports from Brazil (EO 14323). Specifically, the Administration removed certain agricultural products from the additional 40% duties. The modification takes effect retroactively on 13 November 2025 (see related state act).; new: On 20 February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorise the President to impose tariffs. The Court ruled that the constitutional power to levy duties rests with Congress and that IEEPA’s authority to “regulate … importation” does not include the power to impose taxes or tariffs. The decision invalidates the IEEPA-based reciprocal tariffs applied to imports from most trading partners, and the fentanyl-related tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China. While the Court did not directly address refund procedures, duties collected under these unlawful tariffs may be subject to refund through applicable customs processes.; new: On 20 February 2026, the White House issued an Executive Order (EO) terminating the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (see related state act). These duties had been established under several Executive Orders issued since February 2025. The EO states that “in light of recent events, the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA [...] shall no longer be in effect and, as soon as practicable, shall no longer be collected”.; new: On 22 February 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued guidance (CSMS #67834313) announcing that the collection of additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA will be terminated on 24 February 2026.

static: On 9 July 2025, the United States of America announced the higher country-specific "reciprocal tariffs" applicable to imports from Brazil. Effective 1 August 2025, these imports will be subject to a 50% additional tariff. Since 5 April 2025, the tariff has been the 10% baseline rate (see related state act). According to the Executive Order of 2 April and its modifications, the measure affects all products imported to the U.S., with the following exceptions: partially included in Annex II of the Executive Order: articles subject to 50 USC 1702(b); steel and aluminum articles; autos and auto parts already subject to Section 232 tariffs; copper; pharmaceuticals; semiconductors; lumber articles; bullion; energy; certain minerals that are not domestically available; all articles that may become subject to future Section 232 tariffs; and certain semiconductor items. The U.S. Administration also announced rates for other jurisdictions; for details, please see the related interventions.

static: On 2 April 2025, the U.S. Administration issued an Executive Order imposing a 10 percent additional duty on imports from all jurisdictions. These tariffs will enter into force on 5 April 2025. The open-ended 10 percent duty originally applied to all jurisdictions except those listed in Column 2 HTSUS (North Korea, Cuba, Russia, and Belarus), the 57 jurisdictions outlined in Annex I of the Executive Order, which will face higher duties beginning 9 April 2025, and products from Mexico and Canada compliant with USMCA rules of origin. In June 2025, it was announced that the United Kingdom also benefited from some exemptions (see below, related intervention and state acts). The measure affects 4'541 six-digit tariff subheadings. According to the Executive Order, this measure affects all products imported to the U.S., with the following exceptions, partially included in Annex II of the Executive Order: articles subject to 50 USC 1702(b); steel and aluminum articles; autos and auto parts already subject to Section 232 tariffs; copper; pharmaceuticals; semiconductors; lumber articles; bullion; energy; certain minerals that are not domestically available; and all articles that may become subject to future Section 232 tariffs. The Executive Order states that the decision invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), based on a determination that annual U.S. goods trade deficits have led to a national emergency. Update On 4 April 2025, the US Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), imposed additional import duties on two aluminium derivative products: beer and empty aluminium cans (see related stated act). According to the June 2025 proclamation, the non-aluminium, non-steel content of all aluminium and steel articles and derivative articles shall be subject to reciprocal tariffs and any other applicable tariffs (see related state ac). On 11 April 2025, the U.S. Administration issued a memorandum exempting certain semiconductor items from additional duties, effective retroactively from 5 April 2025 (see related state act). The exempted products fall under HS subheadings 8471, 8473, 8486, 8517, 8523, 8524, and 8528. The decision also includes HS subheadings 8541 and 8542, but these were already exempted under Annex II of EO 14257. On 28 May 2025, the United States Court of International Trade issued a unanimous decision in the consolidated cases of V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. United States and State of Oregon v. United States. The suing parties (plaintiffs) challenged the “Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariffs” (also known as the “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs), which imposed duties on all imports and increased tariffs on goods from 57 countries, as well as the “Trafficking Tariffs” targeting imports from China, Mexico, and Canada. The court found that these actions exceeded the authority granted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and violated constitutional limits on executive power. It concluded that the claimed threats were either too vague, insufficiently justified, or not clearly connected to the countries subject to the tariffs. As a result, the court declared the tariffs unlawful. Following the ruling, the Trump administration immediately filed an appeal. On 29 May 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an immediate administrative stay of the lower court's judgment. This stay temporarily halts the enforcement of the trade court's ruling, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect. The Federal Circuit has consolidated the appeals and set a briefing schedule: plaintiffs are to respond to the government's motion for a stay by 5 June 2025, and the government may file a consolidated reply by 9 June 2025. The court's decision on whether to grant a longer-term stay will follow this briefing. On 3 June 2025, the U.S. Administration issued a proclamation increasing additional duties on imports of steel and aluminium articles, as well as their derivative products. According to the proclamation, the non-aluminium, non-steel content of all aluminium and steel articles and derivative articles shall be subject to reciprocal tariffs and any other applicable tariffs (see related state ac). On 12 June 2025, the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security of the Commerce Department issued a notice (scheduled for publication on 16 June 2025) expanding the scope of steel derivative products subject to Section 232 tariffs on steel imports. The revised tariffs enter into force on 23 June 2025 (see related state act). According to the June 2025 proclamation, the non-aluminium, non-steel content of all aluminium and steel articles and derivative articles shall be subject to reciprocal tariffs and any other applicable tariffs (see related state ac). On 16 June 2025, the United States issued an Executive Order to implement the General Terms of the United States–United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal. The order eliminates certain additional tariffs on aerospace products of UK origin that fall under the scope of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft. These products were previously subject to a 10% tariff under Executive Order 14257 (Reciprocal Tariffs) (see related state act). The change takes effect on the date of publication of the relevant Federal Register notice. On 31 July 2025, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued CSMS # 65794272 - GUIDANCE: Section 232 Import Duties on Copper and Copper Derivative Products. According to the guidance document, Reciprocal tariff exceptions 9903.01.33 apply to goods subject to Section 232 tariffs including semi-finished copper and intensive copper derivative products provided for in 9903.78.01. On 31 July 2025, the U.S. Administration issued an executive order modifying previously imposed reciprocal tariff rates. As a result of the modification, reciprocal tariff rates of imports from some jurisdictions were sustained at a rate of 10%. Reciprocal tariff rates from other jurisdictions were increased (see related state act). In August 2025, the US Department of Commerce added 407 HTSUS codes to the list of steel and aluminium derivative products subject to Section 232 tariffs, effective from 18 August 2025. The Section 232 duties will apply only to the steel and aluminium content of the derivative products. Non-steel and non-aluminium components will remain subject to other applicable tariffs, including reciprocal tariffs (see related state act).; new: On 20 February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorise the President to impose tariffs. The Court ruled that the constitutional power to levy duties rests with Congress and that IEEPA’s authority to “regulate … importation” does not include the power to impose taxes or tariffs. The decision invalidates the IEEPA-based reciprocal tariffs applied to imports from most trading partners, and the fentanyl-related tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China. While the Court did not directly address refund procedures, duties collected under these unlawful tariffs may be subject to refund through applicable customs processes.; new: On 20 February 2026, the White House issued an Executive Order (EO) terminating the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (see related state act). These duties had been established under several Executive Orders issued since February 2025. The EO states that “in light of recent events, the additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA [...] shall no longer be in effect and, as soon as practicable, shall no longer be collected”.; new: On 22 February 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued guidance (CSMS #67834313) announcing that the collection of additional ad valorem duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA will be terminated on 24 February 2026.

static: On 19 December 2024, the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced allocating USD 10 million in funding to the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council to support poultry and egg exporters to expand their customer base beyond traditional markets. Funding will be provided in the form of grants under the USDA’s Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP). RAPP is a cost-share initiative that provides assistance to eligible organizations conducting foreign market promotion activities in non-traditional foreign markets such as Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South and Southeast Asia where consumer demand and purchasing power are growing. Canada, Mexico, and China (including Hong Kong and Macau) have been identified as ineligible for the 2025 RAPP. Eligible organizations receive support for generic or brand promotion activities and efforts to alleviate non-tariff barriers to trade in these markets. The funding opportunity of this program was announced in August 2024 (see related state act). Together with this present award, the USDA allocated USD 300 million in grants to 67 organizations to support U.S. food and farm exports in growth markets. In this context, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said: “RAPP is a critical tool for helping U.S. producers and agribusinesses stay competitive in today’s global trading environment. The Biden-Harris approach to trade is delivering results for U.S. agriculture through record exports and improved relationships with current and future trading partners, and this investment supports actions that build on the global demand for American agriculture’s high-quality products.” USA Poultry and Egg Export Council is the export market development organization for the U.S. poultry and egg industry. The council works to promote U.S. poultry and egg products to overseas customers, offering technical assistance, market information, and promotional activities to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. poultry and egg products in the global marketplace.
