Insights
Brazil to keep 20% resin import tax in place through 2026.
Brazil’s Camex (via Gecex) approved maintaining a 20% import tax on PE, PP and PVC resins until October 16, 2026. The policy is framed as a temporary tariff increase to address conjunctural trade imbalances, and the company states these are resins it markets domestically.
Tariffs can influence price dynamics and import flows. The filing does not quantify financial impact, volumes, or pricing effects, and it does not state changes to Braskem’s guidance. Any market impact depends on competitive responses and demand conditions.
Key factual anchors are the 20% rate, covered products (PE, PP, PVC), and the effective horizon through October 16, 2026. Subsequent disclosures may provide operational or financial context if material.
