The product can be exported with the agreement's preference. The duty today is €24.32/100 kg/net instead of €30.4/100 kg/net, and it reaches zero on 1 January 2030.

This sheet is built on the EU tariff line 0407 90 10, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina it corresponds to NCM 0407.90.00. The classification should be confirmed by a customs broker.

The preferential duty today is €24.32/100 kg/net. The MFN duty, without the agreement, is €30.4/100 kg/net. It reaches zero on 1 January 2030. On the Argentine side, the export duty today is 0% (Decree 410/2021).

The agreement opens no tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for this line. The preference therefore applies to every shipment, with no volume limit and no quota procedure.

To benefit from the preference the product has to be originating. The applicable rule is the one for 04.03 – 04.10, which requires that the materials of Chapter 4 be wholly Argentine or European. The other materials have no origin restriction under this rule. Answer the questions to see whether the product qualifies.

Check the materials one by one with the origin assistant, with their tariff code and their share of the price.

The product is on the list of goods the European Union controls at the border, so it enters through a border control post and with an official certificate. It is a procedure to complete, not a prohibition, but without it the consignment is not cleared, even at zero duty. The Commission's portal (Access2Markets) assigns 9 EU product requirements to this line (technical, labelling or marketing rules). It assigns them to the whole line, and the table lists each one with its act and the link to check whether it applies to the product.

There are two gates, in this order. First the country, since the European Union only admits products of animal origin from countries whose control plan it has approved, and Argentina is approved for «Eggs». Then the plant, which must be approved in Argentina and, for most products of animal origin, appear on the list the Commission publishes.

These are the rules that stop a shipment for reasons unrelated to the duty. Neither of the two covers this line, according to the list of codes in the annex of each regulation.

The duty, the schedule, the quota and the rule of origin are the same in all twenty-seven Member States, so no country needs to be chosen for the above. What changes by country is the label language, VAT and local formalities.

In 2025 the EU imported €2.3 million from outside the EU; Argentina is not among the suppliers.

6 steps, in the order they are taken. Each one comes from a block of this sheet.

1. 1
   Confirm the tariff classification with a customs broker

   This whole sheet depends on the line being 0407 90 10. If the line changes, so do the duty, the quota, the rule of origin and the requirements. It is the one step that cannot be skipped.

2. 2
   Register as an exporter with ARCA (Argentina)

   On the Argentine side, the export is lodged with customs, which requires registration in the exporters' register. That registration comes before the first shipment.

   ARCA
3. 3
   Check that the product is originating, and be ready to prove it

   The rule for 04.03 – 04.10 requires that the materials of Chapter 4 be wholly Argentine or European. Without proof of origin there is no preference, and the MFN duty is paid even if the product qualifies. Origin is proven with the exporter's statement on origin (Annex 3-C). At the start, the transitional certificate of origin of Annex 3-D also applies (notice 2026/875).

   The exporter makes the statement. A certifying body is involved if the transitional certificate of Annex 3-D is needed.
4. 4
   Obtain establishment approval and the health certificate

   This line is on the list of goods the European Union controls at the border. The certificate is issued by SENASA, and for that the establishment must be approved and, depending on the product, appear on the EU list of approved establishments.

5. 5
   The importer pre-notifies the consignment before arrival

   The consignment is announced in TRACES with a common health entry document (CHED) and enters through an approved border control post. If the port of destination has no post for this type of product, the consignment cannot enter there.
