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.

Declared today as 2923.90.90 · Official correlation table · the 2012 line was split		2%41 January 2030

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. The 2012 line was broader. When the nomenclature changed it was split into several, and today's code is one of the parts. What the annex sets for that line applies to this part. 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 8 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
1 May 20261 of 5 (year 0)5.2%—Preferential
1 January 20272 of 53.9%—Preferential
1 January 20283 of 52.6%—Preferential
1 January 20294 of 51.3%—Preferential
1 January 20305 of 50%—Duty-free

How it is calculated. Category 4 eliminates the duty in 5 equal stages: the first on 1 May 2026 and the others each 1 January. This is stage 1 of 5, so 80% of the base rate is paid. It reaches zero on 1 January 2030.

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 305/2025, Art. 1 and Annex (IF-2025-37185796-APN-SSPI#MEC), and it is the rate the VUCE applies (checked on 17 October 2026).

Duty savings calculator

Each row assumes you export the amounts entered every year and that the MFN duty stays as it is today, though the EU may change it.

Year 0 of the agreement runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 December 2026, so it counts 8 of the 12 months of the amounts entered.

3 · Tariff-rate quota and access

The agreement has no tariff-rate quota for this line

Green · does not depend on any 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
  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 2 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.
  3. 09.2575. In-quota duty 0%, against the MFN duty of 6.5%. It is open to all origins. It applies only to TARIC subdivision 2923 90 00 87. The volume is 9,500 t per period (1 January to 31 December). The regulation sets no end date; TARIC has it open until 31 December 2026. It is allocated first come, first served, with the order number on the customs declaration (Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283). The day's balance is in the Commission's quota consultation.
  4. 09.2922. In-quota duty 0%, against the MFN duty of 6.5%. It is open to all origins. It applies only to TARIC subdivision 2923 90 00 88. The volume is 10,000 t per period (1 July to 31 December). The regulation sets no end date; TARIC has it open until 31 December 2026. It is allocated first come, first served, with the order number on the customs declaration (Council Regulation (EU) 2021/2283). The day's balance is in the Commission's quota consultation.

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 2905.49 – 2942.00, which requires that one of the options it gives be met; not all are needed. 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 2905.49 – 2942.00 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: «CTSH; A chemical reaction, isomer separation or biotechnological processing is undergone; or MaxNOM 50 % (EXW).»

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. The Commission's portal (Access2Markets) assigns 5 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.

      10 · What to do, in order

      The steps, in order

      5 steps, in the order they are taken. Each one comes from a block of this sheet. Where there is a date, a norm sets it.

      1. 1
        Confirm the tariff classification with a customs broker
        This whole sheet depends on the line being 2923 90 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 2905.49 – 2942.00 requires that one of the options it gives be met; not all are needed. 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
        Prepare for EUDR
        What has to be provided: Geolocation of the plots of land where the commodity was produced, and a due diligence statement. The operator placing the product on the EU market, which in an import is the EU importer. The Argentine exporter has to provide the data.
        The obligation is on the EU importer, but the data comes from the exporter
        From 30 December 2027
      5. 5
        Check the technical standards and labelling for the product
        Access2Markets assigns no technical product standards to this line. Any other EU requirements are in block 5; the detail by destination country, in the Commission's search tool. See it in Access2Markets
