Notice of Determination and Request for Comments Concerning Action Pursuant to Section 301: Brazil's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Digital Trade and Electronic Payment Services; Unfair, Preferential Tariffs; Anti-Corruption Enforcement; Intellectual Property Protection; Ethanol Market Access; and Illegal Deforestation
The U.S. Trade Representative is investigating Brazil's digital trade and other policies under Section 301, which could lead to tariffs or restrictions on Brazilian goods, including drone components. This may increase costs for U.S. drone operators importing Brazilian parts or selling services in Brazil.
