Amber · the EU has product requirements for this line (check which ones apply)

The product enters the European Union duty-free, with or without the agreement.

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

Measuring or checking instruments › Other instruments, appliances and machines › Other (CN 9031 80 80) 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 9031 80 80, which is the code the importer declares in the European Union. In Argentina there are 9 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 did not change between the two editions (the official correlation tables do not list it). 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 18 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 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. The MFN duty in force is lower than the base rate of the annex, so the reduction is calculated on the MFN duty and not on the annex rate. That is what Article 2.4(7) provides, and it gives a lower duty than simply taking the lower of the two.

MFN rule. Article 2.4(7) provides that when the MFN duty falls below the base rate of the annex, the agreement's reduction applies to the MFN duty. That is the case for this line.

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 789/2020, Art. 1 and Annex I (IF-2020-66452816-APN-SSPYGC#MDP), and it is the rate the VUCE applies (checked on 17 October 2026).

The statistical unit. In the SIM, the statistical unit for this line is the unit, according to ARCA's Integrated Tariff.

It enters duty-free, with or without the agreement.

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 90.29 – 9032.89, which requires that one of the options it gives be met; not all are needed. It can also be originating another way, under Appendix 3-B-1 (electronics), if the assembly that appendix describes is carried out in Mercosur. 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 90.29 – 9032.89 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; or MaxNOM 50 % (EXW).»

Tolerance. Article 3.5 tolerates materials that do not meet the rule up to 10% of the ex-works price.

Another way, Appendix 3-B-1. For 9031.80 the agreement provides a special arrangement. Even if the rule above is not met, the product is originating when all of these operations are carried out in Mercosur, in the Spanish text: «I. Montaje y soldadura de todos los componentes de la placa de circuitos impresos que implementa la función central de procesamiento (tablero principal); II. Integración de la placa de circuitos impresos ensamblada de conformidad con el punto I, otras placas de circuitos impresos (en su caso) y otras partes eléctricas, mecánicas y de submontaje en el formato final del producto; III. Configuración final del producto, instalación de software (si procede) y ensayos funcionales». It applies while the EU bound WTO tariff for the product is not 0%, unless Mercosur notifies otherwise. The origin assistant asks about it step by step.

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 9031 80 80.

      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 9031 80 80. 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 90.29 – 9032.89 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 CE marking for the product
        The EU assigns these technical product standards to this line (Technical standards for electromagnetic compatibility; Technical standards for low voltage electrical equipment; Technical standards for civil aircrafts; Technical standards for motor vehicles). Block 5 shows which ones apply to the product. Those requiring CE marking before sale in the EU are Technical standards for electromagnetic compatibility; Technical standards for low voltage electrical equipment. See it in Access2Markets
