U.S. Considers 25% Tariff on Brazilian Instant Coffee | US News

The U.S. is considering a 25% tariff on Brazilian instant coffee — a move that could hit American consumers hard, since Brazil supplies over 90% of the instant coffee imported into the country. With the U.S. importing 15,500 metric tons annually and producing less than 6% itself, this tariff could spike prices and disrupt a market that’s seeing rising demand. Industry leaders from both Brazil and the U.S. are pushing back, arguing the move is arbitrary and will hurt budget-conscious drinkers and businesses — especially since no other supplier can match Brazil’s volume and pricing. The confusion deepens because other coffee products, even flavored ones, are exempt from similar duties. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
