About this product
Instant coffee and other extracts get a mixed EU treatment: some lines are free from the start, others are phased out over short, medium or long schedules, and some carry a sugar-linked component. Mercosur's duties on European extracts also fall to zero, a couple of lines over its longest schedule. Brazil is a big producer of soluble coffee, which makes the EU cut relevant.
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.
