Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., China -tariff).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls" or "entity list" instead of "entity listing").

September 15, 2020 by Mara Lee|Americas

Brazil will keep its tariff rate quota on U.S. ethanol exports steady over the next 90 days, as the two countries negotiate how to “improve market access” for ethanol and sugar in the U.S. and in Brazil. They will also consider liberalizing corn imports in the two countries. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced the negotiations after the close of business Sept. 11, and the 90-day timeline started Sept 14.

The monitoring system will cover exports of standard pipe, mechanical tubing and semi-finished products. It will take effect five days after publication of the notice, and remain in effect until the end of June 2021, the notice said. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative agreed to keep in place its exemption for Mexico from Section 232 tariffs on steel products, USTR said in a press release.
