Brazil to Maintain Tariff Hikes on Imported EVs, 35% by 2026
Brazil will keep its planned tariff increases on imported electric and hybrid vehicles, with a 35% import tax on assembled and semi-assembled EVs starting July 2026, and on disassembled vehicles from January 2027.
Brazil has confirmed it will proceed with its scheduled tariff hikes on imported electric and hybrid vehicles. The import tax on fully assembled and semi-assembled electric vehicles will rise to 35%, effective July 2026. Disassembled vehicles will face the same rate starting January 1, 2027.
