Brazil's Top 100 Imported Products
Based on the latest available trade statistics for 2024 (total imports reached $262.5 billion, up 9% from 2023, driven by energy and industrial needs), below is a list of Brazil's top 100 imported products. Data is sourced from detailed Harmonized System (HS) code-level analysis, focusing on 4-digit HS categories for granularity.
- Industry: Broad sector classification (e.g., Energy, Machinery, Electronics) derived from HS chapters.
- Product: Specific product description at 4-digit HS level.
- Total Value: Import value in US$ billions for 2024 (subtotal for top 100: $215.8 billion, or 82.2% of total imports).
- Countries (with value): Top 3 supplying countries by value (in US$ billions), representing ~70-90% of inflows per product; full global suppliers are dominated by Asia (40.1%), North America (19%), and Europe (24.9%).
Values are rounded for readability. Percentage changes from 2023 are noted where significant (>10%). This list prioritizes high-value items like processed petroleum oils and machinery parts, reflecting Brazil's focus on energy security, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Key Insights:
- Dominant Industries: Energy (22% of top 100 value) and Machinery (20%) lead, supporting Brazil's industrial growth and energy demands; Vehicles (12%) reflect automotive sector expansion.
- Top Suppliers Overall: Asia provides 40.1% ($105.3B), led by China ($63.5B, up 15%); North America 19% ($49.9B), primarily USA ($41.2B); Europe 24.9% ($65.3B), mainly Germany ($13.6B).
- Trends: Imports surged in vehicles (+24%) and plastics (+19.1%) due to manufacturing rebound, but declined in fertilizers (-7.1%) from domestic production gains. Tech subcategories like integrated circuits (+22%) highlight semiconductor push.
- Data reflects Brazil only; excludes services. For 2025 projections, expect +6-8% growth per IMF, with continued Asian reliance.
