Brazil: Customs Tax Auditors on indefinite strike as of Nov. 29; supply chain disruptions possible

Customs Tax Auditors aligned with the Sindifisco Nacional initiated an indefinite strike on Nov. 26 over a salary demand. A related demonstration was held at the Port of Santos on Nov. 27. Another protest is scheduled to be held near the Ministry of Finance in Brasilia from 10:00 Dec. 4.

The strike could impact the movement of goods through the country's ports over the coming days, particularly at the country's strategic Port of Santos. Additional protests are possible. These are likely near ports of entry or finance-related government buildings. Related demonstrations are unlikely to be overly disruptive or violent.
