Under the US presidential order, Brazilian wood products exporters are aiming to ship hundreds of containers to the United States before August 6, when a 50% tariff will be enforced on new arrivals. The Brazilian Association of Mechanically Processed Timber Industry (Abimci) confirms that its members are working urgently to load, dispatch, and track containers to ensure arrival in the United States before the tariff hike.
