What does Brazil import from Mexico?

Automatic data-processing machines lead at US$ 770.3 million, followed by motor cars (US$ 594.8 million) and vehicle parts (US$ 515.2 million). The combined automotive block — cars, parts and goods vehicles — reaches US$ 1.34 billion, nearly a third of imports.

Why do vehicles appear on both sides?

This is intra-industry trade between two assembly bases: Brazil sold US$ 290.4 million in motor cars and bought US$ 594.8 million of the same chapter; in goods vehicles it sold US$ 304.5 million and bought US$ 227.3 million. Each country concentrates different models and sizes within one chain.
