Why Brazil?

Brazil is the United States’ seventh-largest export market, importing $42.4 billion in U.S. goods last year, 15 percent of Brazil’s total imported goods. The U.S. holds a sizable trade surplus with Brazil, which reached $12 billion last year.

U.S. services are also in high demand in Brazil: U.S. companies exported $24 billion in services in 2012.

Brazil has a large and diversified economy that offers U.S. companies significant opportunities for exporting goods and services and partnering with national distributors and representatives.
