About this product
Almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachios fall here. Most EU lines are free from the start and the rest go within a few years, while Mercosur phases its duties out over short and medium schedules. For EU exporters of almonds and hazelnuts, Mercosur's cut is the bigger change.
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.

Mercosur → EU figures assume Brazilian origin, which only matters for the few origin-specific quotas; EU → Mercosur figures are for Brazil unless the country table says otherwise.
