China’s safeguard was received unevenly across South American countries. Brazil was clearly the most affected, receiving a quota 350,000 tons lower (-24%) than the volume that arrived from Brazil in 2025. Argentina was allocated a similar volume (+8% versus 2025), while Uruguay received a quota 59% higher than its 2025 shipments to China. Bolivia, meanwhile, was exempt from quotas, as other regional exporters.
