On July 30, the Trump Administration announced an additional 40% tariff on most Brazilian imports, on top of the 10% tariff currently in effect. The White House order included an exemption for civil aviation aircraft, parts, and flight simulators from the country-specific tariff, although those imports will still be subject to a 10% universal tariff. NATA continues to advocate for reinstatement of the 1979 Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, which has resulted in a safe and resilient global aviation supply chain. Under the free trade agreement, U.S. aerospace has grown to be the second largest domestic manufacturing export sector with a net positive trade balance of $104 billion in 2024. The exemption for Brazilian aircraft from additional tariffs is the latest recognition of the aviation industry’s critical importance to the national economy, following recent free trade agreements for civil aircraft with the United Kingdom and the European Union. NATA encourages the Trump Administration to return to a zero-for-zero tariff policy with all signatory nations of the long-standing Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, including a full tariff exemption for the Brazilian business aviation manufacturing sector.
