EU–Mercosur agreement in practice: how Polish exporters can benefit from tariff preferences in South America?
From 1 May 2026, the interim trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur countries is being applied provisionally. What does this mean in practice? Polish companies exporting to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay or Uruguay may benefit from lower tariff rates. The extent of the reduction and when it applies depend on the tariff code and the schedule for the relevant product. At the same time, exporters must demonstrate that the goods actually originate in the EU and document this appropriately.
