2 · Duty and schedule
The duty today and when it reaches zero
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 305/2025).
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 changed through a Common Market Group resolution later than 2012, which states which old code became which new one. The line follows from that resolution, chained with Mercosur's official correlation tables. 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 16 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.

Source: VUCE, tariff position finder, checked on 6 October 2026. Agencies change their interventions often, so each one links the VUCE page it comes from, to be checked on the day of import.
Year-by-year table and how it is calculated
| From | Stage | Ad valorem | Specific (€) | Applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 May 2026 | 1 of 1 (year 0) | 0% | — | Duty-free |
How it is calculated. This line has been duty-free since the first day of the agreement. It is already at zero.
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).
It enters duty-free, with or without the agreement.
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 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.
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
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 2 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.
- SPSOfficial control at an EU border control postConfirmedmust be met before shipmentThe consignment must enter through an approved border control post, be pre-notified in TRACES with a common health entry document (CHED) and travel with the official certificate that applies. The annex narrows it as follows: «Solo péptidos aislados de origen animal.»

EU requirements for this line (2)check which ones apply to the product
The European Commission assigns them to the whole line, so each one should be checked against the actual product.
- EU · chemicalsMarketing requirements for pesticides and biocidesRegulation 1107/2009, Regulation 546/2011, Regulation 2023/574 and 8 more acts

6 · Authorisations and registrations
What must be approved before exporting
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 12 of 13 categories. Then the plant, which must be approved in Argentina and, for most products of animal origin, appear on the list the Commission publishes.
- Third-country listArgentina is on the list of authorised countriesConfirmedthe country is authorisedThe Commission has approved Argentina's control plan for Bovine, Ovine/caprine, Equine, Poultry, Aquaculture (16), Milk, Eggs, Rabbit, Wild game, Farmed game, Honey, Casings. The category of the product should be confirmed with the customs broker, because the annex does not express them by tariff code.
- No approved planCategories for which Argentina is NOT on the listConfirmedcheck whether it is the category of the productPorcine. A product in any of these cannot enter the European Union today, even at zero duty and with an establishment approved in Argentina.

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 2933 39 50.

10 · What to do, in order
The steps, in order
6 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 2933 39 50. 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 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.
- 4Obtain establishment approval and the health certificateThis 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.
- 5The importer pre-notifies the consignment before arrivalThe 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.TRACES NT · done by the EU importer
