About this product
New tyres enter the EU duty-free from Mercosur as soon as the agreement applies. Mercosur's duties on European tyres fall to zero, mostly over a long schedule, with a couple of lines excluded. Car, truck and agricultural tyres are all under this heading.
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.

Tariff-rate quotas
No tariff-rate quota applies to this heading.
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.
