Amber · there are European names that cannot be usedThe duty on this line depends on the entry price of the goods and on the time of year, and with the agreement the duty today is Annex ad valorem duty reduced by 1/11 + the specific duty according to the entry price (Annex 2 of the CN). The scale is in block 2.
Recommended action: find the entry price of the consignment on the scale in block 2 and make sure origin can be proven.
Fruit or nut juices and vegetable juices › Of a value exceeding € 18 per 100 kg net weight (CN 2009 61 10) has a reduction under the EU-Mercosur Agreement, but the duty depends on the entry price and the time of year. It reaches zero on 1 January 2036. There is no quota. Data as of 1 November 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 2009 61 10, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina it corresponds to NCM 2009.61.00. The classification should be confirmed by a customs broker.
| Nomenclature | Code | Version | Official description |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCM (Argentina) | 2009.61.00 | NCM in force 2026 | De valor Brix inferior o igual a 30 |
| CN (European Union) | 2009 61 10 | CN 2026 (annex in CN 2013: 2009 61 10) | Grape juice (including grape must): of a Brix value not exceeding 30: of a value exceeding € 18 per 100 kg net weight |
| HS (worldwide) | 2009.61 | Harmonized System | Fruit or nut juices (including grape must and coconut water) and vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter |
2 · Duty and schedule
The duty today and when it reaches zero
The agreement sets no amount for this line and refers to Annex 2 to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 927/2012, the entry price regime, where the duty depends on the period of the year and on the price at which the goods enter. With the agreement, the duty today is Annex ad valorem duty reduced by 1/11 + the specific duty according to the entry price (Annex 2 of the CN). Without the agreement it would be 22.4% at an entry price of €42.5 per hl or more; below that, 22.4% + from 0.8 to 27 €/hl (period Todo el año). The scale for the whole year is below. The ad valorem duty reaches zero on 1 January 2036; the specific duty of the entry price regime remains. On the Argentine side, the export duty today is 0% (Decree 462/2023).
The duty on this line depends on the entry price of each shipment. GO can help work it out with the actual price.
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.
Import sheet, laid out for buyers sourcing from Europe
| Annex line (NCM 2012) | Base rate | Category | Reaches zero |
|---|---|---|---|

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). 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 7 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.

The duty by entry price
This line has no fixed duty. The duty depends on the price at which the goods enter. Above a threshold only the percentage is paid, and below it an amount per hectolitre is added that grows as the price falls. The thresholds change by period of the year, because they protect the European harvest while it lasts. Today, 1 November 2026, the period in force is Todo el año.
Todo el añoin force today
| Entry price per hl | Duty |
|---|---|
| €42.5 or more | 22.4 |
| €41.7 or more, but less than €42.5 | 22.4 + 0.8 €/hl |
| €40.8 or more, but less than €41.7 | 22.4 + 1.7 €/hl |
| €40 or more, but less than €40.8 | 22.4 + 2.5 €/hl |
| €39.1 or more, but less than €40 | 22.4 + 3.4 €/hl |
| Less than €39.1 | 22.4 + 27 €/hl |
What this figure is. It is the MFN duty in force, the one any country without an agreement pays, under Annex 2 of the Combined Nomenclature 2026 (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1926). The agreement refers to Annex 2 to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 927/2012, in the 2013 nomenclature, and for this line it has the same periods, thresholds and duties, with a different numbering of the footnotes.
Year-by-year table and how it is calculated
| From | Stage | Ad valorem | Specific (€) | Applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 May 2026 | 1 of 11 (year 0) | Cut by 1/11 | By entry price | Preferential |

| 1 January 2036 | 11 of 11 | 0% | By entry price | Preferential (the specific duty remains) |
How it is calculated. The ad valorem component follows the path of category 10; the specific duty of the entry price regime remains. The entry price scale is shown above.
No calculator. The duty depends on the entry price of each consignment, and the scale above shows what is paid on each rung.
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
This line has no tariff-rate quota
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.
Where to check it
- Section B of Annex 2-A lists the 23 quotas the European Union opens for Mercosur. None covers this line.
| Period | Volume | Status |
|---|
If the product may fall under one of them, write to us and we will review it.
4 · Rules of origin
Whether the product qualifies as originating
To benefit from the preference the product has to be originating. The applicable rule is the one for 20.09, which requires that all the conditions it lists be met at the same time, not just one. 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.
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: «CTH, provided that: apples, grapefruits, lemons, limes, oranges, peaches, pears, strawberries and tangerines are wholly obtained; and the total weight of non-originating materials of headings 17.01 and 17.02 used does not exceed 40 % of the weight of the product.»
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
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 11 protected European names, names that cannot be used in the European Union. The Commission's portal (Access2Markets) assigns 6 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.
- Name · EU GI11 protected European names in this product classConfirmedthere are names that cannot be usedThis position falls in the class Hortalizas, frutas u otros frutos y sus preparaciones, which the annex defines by code. Those names cannot be used in the European Union, not even with «type», «style» or «imitation». For example, Steirischer Kren, Plate de Florenville, Cítricos Valencianos/Cítrics Valencians, Pruneaux d'Agen, Ελιά Καλαμάτας (Elia Kalamatas), Κονσερβολιά Αμφίσσης (Konservolia Amfissis), among others. Search the name used to sell the product. One of those names has a transitional regime, with a deadline.

6 · Authorisations and registrations
What must be approved before exporting
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.
7 · Cross-cutting EU regulations
EUDR, CBAM and safeguards
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.
EUDR · deforestation
Prohibits placing on the EU market products linked to deforestation. It covers seven commodities (cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood). It does not cover this line, because it is not in the list of codes of Annex I.
Source: Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Annex ICBAM · carbon border adjustment
Charges at the EU border for the carbon embedded in certain energy-intensive goods (cement, electricity, fertilisers, iron and steel, aluminium and some chemicals). It does not cover this line, because it is not in the list of codes of Annex I.

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 2009 61 10.

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.
- 1Confirm the tariff classification with a customs brokerThis whole sheet depends on the line being 2009 61 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.Customs broker
- 2Register 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.
- 3Check that the product is originating, and be ready to prove itThe rule for 20.09 requires that all the conditions it lists be met at the same time, not just one. 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.
- 4Check the technical and labelling rules for the productComposition, 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 Access2MarketsEuropean Commission · Access2Markets
