Recommended action: the duty does not depend on origin, so the focus is on the product requirements (block 5).

Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up… (CN 3822 19 00) enters the European Union duty-free, with or without the EU-Mercosur Agreement. 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 3822 19 00, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina there are 5 NCM lines under the same 6 digits; the exporter's product is one of them. The classification should be confirmed by a customs broker.

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. Note that today's code combines parts of more than one annex line, which may not be charged the same. The one that applies depends on exactly what the goods are, so compare them with the description of each. 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 15 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 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 1060/2020, Art. 1 and Annex (IF-2020-90691934-APN-SPT#MEC); 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).

3 · Tariff-rate quota and access

This line has no tariff-rate quota

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.

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

Grey · not answered

To benefit from the preference the product has to be originating. The applicable rule is the one for 3810.10 – 3824.50, 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 3810.10 – 3824.50 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 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 · enters through a border control post, with a certificate

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 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.

  • SPS
    Official control at an EU border control post
    Confirmedmust be met before shipment
    The 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 los productos derivados de animales, excepto los productos sanitarios, tal como se definen en el artículo 2, apartado 1, del Reglamento (UE) 2017/745 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo (1), y los productos sanitarios para diagnóstico in vitro, tal como se definen en el artículo 2, apartado 2, del Reglamento (UE) 2017/746 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo (2).»

6 · Authorisations and registrations

What must be approved before exporting

Amber · the country is authorised for 12 of 13 categories, check which one applies

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.

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.

Green · does not cover this line

What your competitors pay

Of the 11 countries on the list, today all pay the same as you.

Country by country (11)

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

6 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 3822 19 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 3810.10 – 3824.50 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
    Obtain establishment approval and the health certificate
    This 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.
    SENASA · on the EU side, DG SANTE
  5. 5
    The importer pre-notifies the consignment before arrival
    The 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.

  6. 6
    Check the technical standards and CE marking for the product
    The EU assigns one technical product standard to this line (Technical standards for in vitro diagnostic medical devices). Block 5 shows which ones apply to the product. If it applies, the product must carry the CE marking before being sold in the EU. See it in Access2Markets
