NCGA seeks block on Brazilian ethanol duty loophole
The National Corn Growers Association files in the U.S. Court of International Trade to overturn a Customs ruling that Brazil ethanol blends enter duty free. NCGA warns the move harms U.S. corn growers, refiners, and the Treasury, citing potential losses of $330 million in duties and vast acreage surpluses. Local corn growers and Wisconsin officials blame banks for pressuring Brazilian exporters to bypass tariffs, while lawmakers consider tightening the law to close the loophole.

The intervenor, modeled after a Natural Resources role, would act within the Department of Justice to assist individual farmers and the broader ag community in major contested cases affecting farming operations and regulatory enforcement.
