About this product
Frozen vegetables are phased out by the EU, mostly over a medium schedule and on a couple of lines over a long one. Some lines carry specific duties as well as a percentage. Mercosur removes its duties on European frozen vegetables on a single medium schedule.
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.

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.
