Imported from the European Union, it pays between 0% and 16% today, depending on the line under the agreement. The preference applies only within a quota, with an import licence.

What Argentina charges, today and every year. Appendix 2-A-2 sets the duty Argentina charges on goods originating in the European Union, and lowers it every 1 January according to each line’s category. Below is the annex line reached from this code, today’s duty and the duty for each year.

Without the agreement, 16%. That is what Argentina currently charges on this code from outside Mercosur (extra-zone import duty), with a common external tariff (CET) of 16%, the same Decree 557/2023 sets, according to the VUCE on 17 October 2026. That is less than the annex base rate, so the agreement’s reduction is computed on that 16%, keeping the same preference margin (iTA, artículo 2.4, apartado 7). The figures below already reflect it.

How this line was reached. The annex writes its list in NCM 2012, while imports are declared in the edition in force. The line follows from Mercosur's official correlation tables (2012 to 2017 and 2017 to 2022), published by Brazil's CAMEX. Note that today's code combines parts of more than one annex line, which may not be charged the same. The one that applies depends on exactly what the goods are, so compare them with the description of each. Intermediate stages follow the agreement’s rule, to a tenth of a point (iTA, Annex 2-A, Section A, paragraph 7). Outside the quotas, for now the importer self-assesses the agreement’s duty (ARCA notice of 7 May 2026), and we found no Argentine rule on how to round the stages, so this sheet truncates to the tenth, as the English text of the agreement says. And the preference is for goods originating in the European Union, with their proof of origin.

The preference applies only within a quota. For this line the agreement does not lower the duty for any quantity: it lowers it for a yearly volume, and whatever enters outside it pays the out-of-quota duty. The line’s table, in the duty block, gives the volume and the duty for each year. Using the quota requires an import licence.

• Licence
  Licencia de importación, por la Ventanilla Única (VUCEA)

  Para traer mercadería dentro de un cupo del Acuerdo hace falta una licencia de importación que emite la Subsecretaría de Mercados Agroalimentarios e Inserción Internacional, y que se declara por la Ventanilla Única de Comercio Exterior (VUCEA): no se presenta en papel ni en otra ventanilla. El procedimiento está en el Manual de Usuario Externo del micrositio VUCE de ARCA. Esto vale para los cupos: fuera de un cupo, la importación sigue el régimen general: confirmalo con tu despachante.

  Es la misma resolución que ya usás para exportar

  La Res. SAGyP 50/2026 gobierna los cupos del Acuerdo en los dos sentidos: los de exportación y los de importación. Si ya operás cupos de exportación bajo esa norma, no hay una segunda resolución que aprender para importar.

• Other taxes. This sheet gives the agreement’s duty. Imports also pay VAT, withholdings and fees that are not part of the agreement and are not computed here: ask the customs broker for the total cost.
• Classification. The importer chooses the code and the customs broker confirms it. If in doubt between two, search by description and compare.
• Origin. The preference is for goods originating in the European Union under chapter 3 of the agreement. A supplier based in Europe is not enough: ask for the statement on origin.
