Abstract
Analisa as políticas comerciais brasileiras, com ênfase no sistema de importações. As políticas de importações no Brasil durante o período pós-guerra consistiram basicamente no uso de barreiras tarifárias e não-tarifárias para restringir a competição externa e, assim, promover a implantação de um amplo e diversificado setor industrial. Como resultado de altos níveis de proteção interna, baixos níveis de competitividade, e mercado interno limitado, o país apresenta uma estrutura industrial concentrada, com baixos níveis de produtividade. O principal desafio para as futuras políticas comerciais é melhorar a eficiência da produção.

This paper provides a descriptive assessment of Brazilian trade policies, with emphasis on the import regime. Import policies in Brazil during the post-war period have consisted basically of the use of tariff and non-tariff barriers to restrict external competition and, in doing so, promote the installation of an ample and diversified industrial sector. As a result of high levels of domestic protection, low levels of competitive pressures, and limited size of the domestic market, the country presents a highly concentrated industrial structure with low levels of productivity efficiency. To improve efficiency is the main challenge for the future of trade policies.
