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 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.

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 566/2026, Art. 1 and Annex I (IF-2026-62493640-APN-SSCE#MEC); Decree 566/2026, Art. 2 and Annex II (IF-2026-62493690-APN-SSCE#MEC), and it is the rate the VUCE applies (checked on 17 October 2026).

A separate regime. Si tu empresa es MiPyME, tiene el Certificado MiPyME vigente y exportó hasta USD 3 millones el año anterior, los primeros USD 500.000 FOB que exporta en el año pagan 0 % y, hasta USD 1 millón, la mitad de la alícuota: Decreto 302/2021, arts. 1 a 3. No vale para las operaciones por cuenta y orden de terceros.

Duty savings calculator

EU import duty is calculated on the customs value, which in practice is the CIF value (goods plus freight and insurance to the EU port). Enter what you export in a year, in euros or in dollars.

Year by year, until it reaches zero

At these amounts, from this year to 2030 you save €19,067 in total. From 1 January 2030 it enters duty-free and you save €6,500 a year.

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

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.

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 3906.90, 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 3906.90 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: «CTH; 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 · 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 4 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 3906 90 90.

      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 3906 90 90. 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 3906.90 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
        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
