About this product
Most EU pork lines carry a specific duty, and the agreement only lowers it inside a quota for Mercosur pigmeat. The other lines are free as soon as the agreement applies. Mercosur phases its own duties on European pork down to zero.
How the duty falls, year by year
Highest and lowest ad valorem duty each year over the lines on a path to zero. Excluded and quota-only lines keep their duty and aren't included.
Into the EU from Mercosur
Nothing to phase out in this direction: every line is already duty-free, excluded or only covered by a quota.

Rates in each Mercosur country
Each member has its own base rate and applied MFN rate. The preference is cut from the base rate, or from the applied rate where that's lower (Art. 2.4(7) of the agreement), so the current rate can differ by country.
