Exporting aluminium from Argentina to the European Union covers 65 lines of the Combined Nomenclature 2026. Under the EU-Mercosur Agreement, 3 enter duty-free today and 62 are being phased out (the last ones reach zero on 1 January 2036). Data as of 31 October 2026, from the EU-Mercosur Interim Trade Agreement and the Combined Nomenclature 2026.
Lines covered
The guide takes every line of the Combined Nomenclature in force that starts with these codes, 65 lines in all. Each one has its own sheet.

The duty under the agreement
What each line pays today to enter the European Union from Argentina under the agreement, counted line by line with the same calculation as its sheet.
- 3lines enter duty-free with or without the agreement
- 62lines pay less and go down year by year
When they reach zero
The lines that do not enter duty-free in every case (they pay something, the figure depends on composition or the entry price, or the reduction applies only within a quota), by the year the schedule takes the duty under the agreement to zero.

- 1 January 2033 · 25 lines
- 1 January 2036 · 17 lines
What changes on 1 January 2027
On 1 January 2027 the duty goes down one step on 62 lines. It comes from the next step down on the sheet of each line, with the same calculation.
