On March 10 local time, Brazilian Vice President Alckmin announced via social media that Brazil will remove tariffs on six kinds of imports starting from March 10. The six items include two different types of steel, two aluminum plates, wristbands for measuring blood pressure and pulse, and radar antennas. Mr Alckmin said import duties had previously ranged from 12 per cent to 16 per cent and that the government would implement a "zero tariff" policy on such imports for some time to come.
