Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS BRASILIA 000744 SIPDIS STATE PASS USTR PARIS PASS USOECD E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ECON, ETRD, BR, Trade SUBJECT: BRAZIL: NO CONTROLS ON SCRAP STEEL AND COPPER EXPORTS REF: SECSTATE 62180 According to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, Department of Foreign Trade Operations (DECEX), Brazil maintains no controls on exports of steel or copper scrap. The only requirement for scrap exports that differs in any way from the norm, according to the Department, is a requirement that proof of the purchase price of the scrap be provided at the time of export. This requirement was established for tax purposes, given the difficulty of establishing the commercial value of some scrap items. A cross-check with Brazil's published, consolidated list of items subject to export controls or requiring special procedures showed no controls on scrap, coke, DRI, copper cathode or iron ore exports. To the contrary, Brazil is a major exporter of the latter. HRINAK
