It was dated Oct. 19, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette on Oct. 21, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\" id=\"hsn-cite-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, a shipment of these goods pays no import duty while the yearly quota still has room. Once the quota is used up, the normal duty applies again.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Gecex Resolution 975 change?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resolution adds 11 product lines to Annex IV of Gecex Resolution 272 of Nov. 19, 2021<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Annex IV is Brazil&#8217;s list of <strong>temporary duty cuts for supply reasons<\/strong>. These are cuts allowed when a product is not made, or not made in enough quantity, inside Mercosur, the South American trade bloc.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v3\" data-at=\"what-does-gecex-resolution-975-change\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>When each 0% quota opens<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Quota opens<\/th><th>Goods<\/th><th>Quota size<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Oct. 26, 2026<\/th><td>Special infant formulas and medical foods<\/td><td>1,422 tonnes, shared<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Oct. 26, 2026<\/th><td>Polyamide-6 for sausage casings<\/td><td>2,600 tonnes<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Nov. 14, 2026<\/th><td>Sodium metabisulphite<\/td><td>24,650 tonnes<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Jan. 1, 2027<\/th><td>Contact lenses<\/td><td>61.3 million units, shared<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each line on the list has a duty rate, a quota and a start and end date<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.

The resolution took effect on the day it was published<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. However, each quota has its own start date, set out in the annex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis is Mercosur&#8217;s Common Market Group Resolution 49\/19, which lets member states cut duties when supply is short<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The committee also cites four decisions of the Mercosur Trade Commission, Nos. 192\/26, 207\/26, 208\/26 and 209\/26<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. These approvals matter because Brazil shares a common outside tariff with its Mercosur partners.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which infant formulas and medical foods are covered?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven product lines fall under one code, 2106.90.90, in the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM), the bloc&#8217;s product code list<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.

A lens importer saves the whole 16.2% duty on each shipment that enters within the quota.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the rules for contact lenses?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two lines under code 9001.30.00 cover contact lenses<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.

This quota runs from <strong>Jan. 1, 2027 to Dec. 31, 2027<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. That is later than the other goods because the current lens quota runs until Dec. 31, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\" id=\"hsn-cite-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new quota is bigger than the old one. The current joint quota, set by Gecex Resolution 844 of Dec. 30, 2025, is 40,375,000 units<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The Brazilian Optical Industry Association (Abi\u00f3ptica) asked for the increase in its request of March 25, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Brazil cut the duty on contact lenses?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry&#8217;s technical note on lenses gives the reasons. Abi\u00f3ptica said no factory in Brazil or elsewhere in Mercosur makes these lenses<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The note also said the products are essential for treating eye conditions<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A public consultation ran from March 25 to May 9, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. No company or group objected to the request, and none wrote in support<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The note said the lack of objection from local industry supports the view that supply is short<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trade figures show Brazil depends on imports. Imports under the lens code were worth $22,851,943 in 2025<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. That is up from $17,673,619 in 2022<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Brazil ran a trade deficit on these goods in every year from 2022 to 2025<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ireland supplied 43.0% of the lenses by weight in 2025<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The United States supplied 26.7%, the United Kingdom 10.1% and South Korea 7.7%<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. None of these imports had any tariff preference, because Brazil has no trade deal covering them with these suppliers<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is the lens quota larger than the use so far?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 37% of the current quota was used between Jan. 1 and April 30, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. That came to 14,976,676 units<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Even so, the note backed the larger quota. It said earlier quotas had higher use, which shows the demand changes with the season<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past figures support this. Under earlier resolutions, lens quotas were often used at 93% to 100%<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The note also said the expected value of the cut is above $1 million, the reference level for these cases<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which industrial inputs are covered?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two chemical and plastic inputs also get a 0% quota. The first is <strong>sodium metabisulphite<\/strong> at least 98% pure by weight, under code 2832.10.10, Ex 001<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Its quota is <strong>24,650 tonnes<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It runs from Nov. 14, 2026 to Nov. 13, 2027<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The request came from the chemical maker Oxiteno<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second is a plastic called <strong>polyamide-6<\/strong> in pellets, under code 3908.10.25, Ex 003<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It must be made for producing plastic casings for cooked sausages<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The resolution also sets technical limits on its thickness when melted and its melting point<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Its quota is <strong>2,600 tonnes<\/strong>, from Oct. 26, 2026 to Oct. 25, 2027<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The polyamide quota is twice the amount asked for. The request from Viscofan do Brasil sought 1,300 tonnes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The committee&#8217;s tariff body recommended 2,600 tonnes, and Gecex accepted this<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are these new cuts or renewals?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of them are renewals of existing cuts. The committee&#8217;s June records list the lens and polyamide requests as renewals<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Its May records list the sodium metabisulphite request as a renewal too<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The formula request from Nestl\u00e9 Brasil is listed as a late renewal, filed after the usual deadline<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gecex approved the requests at two meetings, its 237th and 238th, in May and June 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The requests then went to Mercosur for approval before Brazil could publish the cuts<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who must act, and how will quotas be shared?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resolution does not yet say how each quota will be shared out. It tells the Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex) of the trade ministry to issue a separate rule on this<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Until that rule appears, importers do not know how much of each quota they can claim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secex also tracks how much of each quota is used. Its monitoring gave the lens figures for early 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. For importers of these goods, the Secex rule and the remaining quota balance decide whether a shipment enters duty-free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers also stand to gain. The lens note says the main beneficiary is the patient and final buyer, who will pay less<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Makers abroad, such as lens suppliers in Ireland and the United States, face no duty on shipments within the quota.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key points on Brazil&#8217;s 0% duty quotas<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table sums up the main facts of the resolution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hsn-table\">\n<div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Question<\/th><th>Answer<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>What changed?<\/td><td>0% import duty within quotas<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Who issued it?<\/td><td>Gecex, Brazil&#8217;s Chamber of Foreign Trade<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Which measure?<\/td><td>Gecex Resolution 975 of Oct. 19, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>When was it published?<\/td><td>Oct. 21, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Which goods?<\/td><td>Special infant formulas, medical foods, contact lenses, two inputs<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Formula quota<\/td><td>1,422 tonnes, Oct. 26, 2026 to Oct. 25, 2027<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Contact lens quota<\/td><td>61.3 million units, calendar year 2027<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Sodium metabisulphite quota<\/td><td>24,650 tonnes, from Nov. 14, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Polyamide-6 quota<\/td><td>2,600 tonnes, from Oct. 26, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Lens duty before<\/td><td>16.2%<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Who sets quota sharing?<\/td><td>Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex)<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first quotas, for infant formulas, medical foods and polyamide-6, open on Oct. 26, 2026.
