Brazil: ex-tarifário for imported capital equipment, anyone been through it recently?Filed one for stamping-line robots in 2025: five months from petition to publication. Two things nobody tells you, approval is NOT retroactive, so anything cleared before publication pays full II; and the technical opinion stage moves much faster if your local engineer answers SUEXT questions within days, not weeks. We shipped the first units at full duty and priced it into the project.

Q&A: Section 232 origin documentation (thread stays open)Defensible only as a stopgap: CBP has been issuing inquiry letters exactly on trader-only declarations. Practical fix from the session, a three-way NDA where the mill certifies smelt/cast direct to you (or to your broker) without revealing pricing to the trader. Slide 14 of the recording has the clause structure; two members have since used it successfully.
