Brazil’s instant coffee gets exemption from US tariffs

Investing.com -- Brazil's instant coffee has been exempted from a new 25% U.S. tariff on Brazilian imports, according to the Brazilian coffee exporters group Cecafe.

The exemption protects between $2 billion and $2.5 billion in Brazilian coffee exports to the United States each year, Cecafe said, according to a Reuters report.

Instant coffee had remained subject to U.S. tariffs even after President Donald Trump's administration revoked duties on most Brazilian products last year, including green coffee beans and flavored varieties of instant coffee.

Brazilian instant coffee exports to the U.S. fell by close to 30% in 2025 compared to the previous year as the industry faced pressure from the tariffs, the Brazilian Instant Coffee Industry Association (Abics) said.

The exemption represents efforts by Cecafe and the U.S. National Coffee Association, Cecafe's director general Marcos Matos said, the report added.
