Questions about the EU–Mercosur calculator
- What does the EU–Mercosur tariff calculator do?
- This free calculator from Ethon (ethon.io), a country-launch studio, shows how the EU–Mercosur agreement treats one product entering Brazil from the EU. It needs no account or login. Paste a product page or a 6-digit HS or 8-digit NCM code and it returns the Mercosur common external tariff (TEC), the rate Brazil applies today, the agreement’s base rate and staging category, and the preferential duty year by year until it reaches its final rate. With a work email it also shows the total import tax and Brazil’s import market for that code.
- Where do the tariff rates come from?
- From Brazil’s tariff tables and the agreement text. The TEC and Brazil’s applied rates come from the annexes of Gecex Resolution 272/2021 as updated by later Gecex resolutions. The base rate and staging category come from Brazil’s schedule in Appendix 2-A-2 of the agreement (Official Journal of the EU, OJ L 2026/184), matched to current NCM codes through SECEX’s Lista Brasil. Each year’s rate is truncated to one decimal, as Receita Federal’s Duimp and DI systems do under Notícia Siscomex Importação 078/2026. The page shows the date of the data.
- Is the EU–Mercosur agreement in force, and since when?
- Yes, provisionally. The EU–Mercosur Interim Trade Agreement has applied since 1 May 2026, according to the European Commission’s notice of 30 April 2026, and lines in category 0 became duty-free in Brazil that day. The European Parliament asked the Court of Justice of the EU on 21 January 2026 for an opinion on whether the agreement fits the EU treaties; the EU’s full ratification waits on it, while the tariff cuts keep applying.
- What do the staging categories 0, 4, 8, 10, 15 and E mean?
- They set how fast Brazil’s duty on a product falls to zero. Category 0 lines became duty-free on 1 May 2026. Categories 4, 8, 10 and 15 fall in equal yearly steps every 1 January and reach zero in 2030, 2034, 2036 and 2041. Category E lines are excluded and keep paying the normal rate. Some lines have quotas or special vehicle tables instead, and the calculator says so when it finds one. Where Brazil already charges less than the base rate, the first cut can leave the duty unchanged: the calculator follows Receita Federal’s Duimp rule, cutting from the lower of the base rate and the TEC in force, and shows the year the saving starts.
- What does the total import tax include, and how does Brazil’s tax reform change it?
- Today it adds up import duty, IPI, PIS and COFINS on imports, and the state’s ICMS, per 100 of customs value. Brazil’s tax reform replaces PIS and COFINS with the federal CBS from 2027, then phases ICMS out in favour of the IBS between 2029 and 2032, finishing in 2033. The calculator shows the total today, in 2027 and in 2033, for EU goods and for goods without the preference; some reform rates are still estimates and are marked as such.
- How do I find the NCM or HS code of my product?
- Start from the code you already export under. The first six digits of your EU customs code (CN) are the international HS code, and Brazil’s 8-digit NCM shares those six digits. Receita Federal’s Classif search on the Siscomex portal finds the NCM, and your Brazilian importer or customs broker should confirm it, because the code they declare is the one that counts. If you do not know any code, paste a product page and the calculator will propose one, with close alternatives.
- Is the calculator free, and what does the email unlock?
- Yes. There is no account, login or survey: the duty today, the staging category and the year-by-year cuts show straight away, without an email. A work email unlocks Brazil’s total imports for the code, the EU’s share, the estimated duty saved on today’s EU imports once the cuts are complete, and the total import tax breakdown before and after the tax reform. By giving the email you agree that Ethon may contact you about entering Brazil.
- Does it work for Brazilian exports to the EU?
- No. The calculator covers goods entering Brazil from the EU, using Brazil’s schedule in the agreement. It does not show the EU’s duty on goods from Brazil or other Mercosur countries; the European Commission’s Access2Markets lists those.
