About this product
Insecticides, herbicides and fungicides are a large market in Mercosur's farm sector. The EU phases out its duties within a few years, and Mercosur mostly over a long schedule, with one line excluded. Registration and approval rules matter as much as the tariff.
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.
