The product enters the European Union duty-free, with or without the agreement.

This sheet is built on the EU tariff line 0713 39 00, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina there are 2 NCM lines under the same 6 digits; the exporter's product is one of them. The classification should be confirmed by a customs broker.

The preferential duty today is 0%. The MFN duty, without the agreement, is 0%. It has been at zero from the start of the agreement (1 May 2026). On the Argentine side, the export duty today is 0% (Decree 1060/2020).

It enters duty-free, with or without the agreement.

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 07.01 – 07.14, which requires that the materials of Chapter 7 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.

This line is not on the veterinary border control list of Regulation 2021/632. It is in Annex XI of the plant health regulation, with «ex», so it may require a phytosanitary certificate, depending on the goods. This product class has 11 protected European names, names that cannot be used in the European Union. The Commission's portal (Access2Markets) assigns 8 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.

  iTA, Annex 13-B · geographical indications

The European Union's list of authorised countries and its approval of establishments apply to products of animal origin. They do not apply to this product.

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 €30.5 million from outside the EU; Argentina supplied 12.1% and was the 3rd supplier.

5 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 0713 39 00. 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.

   Customs broker
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 07.01 – 07.14 requires that the materials of Chapter 7 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 the phytosanitary certificate from SENASA

   This line is in Annex XI of the plant health regulation, so the consignment enters with a certificate. And Annex VII requires the certificate to declare something specific, quoted in block 5. It must be provable before applying, not after.

   Check the technical and labelling rules for the product

   Composition, additives, contaminants, packaging and label. The EU product requirements for this line are in block 5; the detail by destination country, in the Commission's search tool. See it in Access2Markets
