Amber · the EU has product requirements for this line (check which ones apply)

This line is not in the agreement's tariff elimination schedule. The MFN duty is €175/t.

Recommended action: confirm the classification with a customs broker, since a neighbouring line may be in the schedule.

Rice › Parboiled › Other (CN 1006 30 69) is not in the tariff elimination schedule of the EU-Mercosur Agreement and pays the MFN duty, €175/t. Data as of 31 October 2026, from the EU-Mercosur Interim Trade Agreement and the Combined Nomenclature 2026.

1 · Classification

The product in the three nomenclatures

This sheet is built on the EU tariff line 1006 30 69, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina there are 4 NCM lines under the same 6 digits; the exporter's product is one of them. The classification should be confirmed by a customs broker.

2 · Duty and schedule

The MFN duty on this line

Grey · this line is not in the tariff elimination schedule

This line does not appear in the agreement's tariff elimination schedule (Appendix 2-A-1). Either it was already duty-free before the agreement, or it was left out. Below is the MFN duty, the one any country without an agreement pays today. On the Argentine side, the export duty today is 0% (Decree 462/2023).

Importing this product from Europe into Argentina

The agreement also lowers what Argentina charges on European goods. Appendix 2-A-2 mirrors the one used in the rest of this sheet. It sets the duty Argentina charges on EU goods entering the country, and lowers it on the same timetable. For an EU supplier selling this product to Argentina, this is the duty that applies.

How this line was reached. The annex writes its list in NCM 2012, while imports are declared in the edition in force. This line did not change between the two editions (the official correlation tables do not list it). This EU line corresponds to more than one Argentine code, each with its own line. Look for the declared one in the table. All of this covers only the duty. If the purchase falls within a quota, an import licence is also needed (it is below, in the authorisations block). What other Argentine agencies require for entry is below, as the VUCE publishes it. Which ones apply depends on the SIM subdivision declared, set by the customs broker.

Argentine agencies involved in the import

The duty comes from the agreement, the rest is required by each agency. The VUCE assigns 11 interventions of other agencies to the import of this position. Each one is shown with the agency’s own text, in Spanish and unabridged, and with the conditions under which it applies. Several only apply in certain cases (wooden packaging, used goods, goods for consumption), and each one says so. Where the origin changes something, each one also states what applies to goods from the EU.

Year-by-year table and how it is calculated
FromStageAd valoremSpecific (€)Applies

Additional refund. Certified organic products, products bearing the Alimentos Argentinos una elección natural seal and products with a registered designation of origin or geographical indication get an additional 0.5% (Decree 1341/2016, Arts. 3 to 5, maintained by Art. 11 of Decree 557/2023). They do not add up: a product that meets more than one condition still gets 0.5% (Resolution 90-E/2017, Art. 9), and each condition is proven with a certificate per shipment (Arts. 1 and 2).

On the Argentine side. Today's export duty is set by Decree 462/2023, Art. 1 and Annex (IF-2023-102215997-APN-SSABDR#MEC), and it is the rate the VUCE applies (checked on 17 October 2026).

3 · Tariff-rate quota and access

The agreement has no tariff-rate quota for this line

Grey · no quota; the line is not in the schedule

The agreement opens no tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for this line. Nor is it in the schedule, so this should be confirmed in TARIC.

Where to check it
  1. Section B of Annex 2-A lists the 23 quotas the European Union opens for Mercosur. None covers this line.
  2. Quotas open to all countries. The Union opens on this line 4 quotas outside the agreement for all origins or for a group that includes Argentina. An importer can use them for Argentine goods, competing with those of other countries for the same quantity. They are separate from the agreement, and the in-quota duty comes from TARIC, origin Argentina.

4 · Rules of origin

Whether the product qualifies as originating

Grey · not answered

To benefit from the preference the product has to be originating. The applicable rule is the one for 10.01 – 10.08, which requires that the materials of Chapter 10 be wholly Argentine or European. The other materials have no origin restriction under this rule. Answer the questions to see whether the product qualifies.

Materials questionnaire

Only the questions the case needs are shown. The result applies the Annex 3-B rule for this line.

1. Does the product use any material not originating in Argentina, another Mercosur country or the European Union?

A material bought in Brazil or in Europe counts as from the region only if it originates there. The supplier can confirm it.

Answer the questions. The answers apply the rule for 10.01 – 10.08 to this case.

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

The rule as published, the tolerance and the proof of origin

The rule, as published in the agreement: «Manufacture in which all the materials of Chapter 10 used are wholly obtained.»

Tolerance. Article 3.5 tolerates materials that do not meet the rule up to 10% of the ex-works price.

Cumulation. The agreement allows bilateral cumulation: originating materials of the other Party count as originating (Chapter 3 of the iTA).

How it is proven. 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).

Edition. Annex 3-B is written in the 2017 Harmonized System and this sheet uses the edition in force. At four and six digits they almost always match. If the product changed heading between editions, the rule should be confirmed with the customs broker.

For now the certificate of origin is still accepted. Until 1 May 2029 the European Union also accepts the traditional certificate of origin, besides the exporter's own statement on origin. In the Spanish text: «Durante un período no superior a 3 (tres) años a partir de la fecha de entrada en vigor del presente Acuerdo, la Unión Europea aceptará también como declaración de origen un «certificado de origen» que indique que los productos importados en la Unión Europea cumplen los requisitos de origen establecidos en el presente Acuerdo.» (iTA, Annex 3-D, paragraph 1). The period may be extended by 2 more years at Mercosur's request.

5 · Health, technical and labelling requirements

What the product must meet to enter the EU

Amber · the EU has product requirements for this line (check which ones apply)

This line is not on the veterinary border control list of Regulation 2021/632. Nor is it in Annex XI of the plant health regulation, which requires the certificate for plant products. This product class has 1 protected European name, a name that cannot be used in the European Union. 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.

    Safeguards

    Chapter 9 of the agreement allows either Party to suspend the preference for a product if increased imports cause injury to its industry. It is a mechanism, not a list, and nothing applies unless a specific measure has been imposed. Check in TARIC whether any measure is in force for 1006 30 69.

    It is the Member State that declares the import, which is not always where the goods are consumed: the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium receive goods for the whole Union.

    Part of extra-EU imports is declared confidential and Eurostat does not assign it to any line: €22,327 in subheading 1006 30 (2025). The figures for this line may fall short of the real total.

    What your competitors pay

    Of the 13 countries on the list, today 3 pay less than you and 10 pay the same.

    Country by country (13)

    The countries are the five largest non-EU suppliers of this line (Eurostat, Comext) and a fixed reference list, with an agreement with the EU (Chile, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Vietnam) and without one (United States and China). Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay enter under the same agreement as you.

    Each figure is the TARIC measure in force today for that origin, in the edition of 1 October 2026. Before clearing goods, the importer checks TARIC with the date and the ten-digit code.

    10 · What to do, in order

    The steps, in order

    4 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 1006 30 69. 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 10.01 – 10.08 requires that the materials of Chapter 10 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
      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
