About the Argentina tariff

Argentina uses the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM) with three digits of its own, the SIM suffix, which gives 11-digit codes. The descriptions are in Spanish and, as ARCA publishes them, without accents.

For each line the page shows the import duty for goods from outside Mercosur (the common external tariff, MFN), the intra-zone rate for Mercosur goods and the export duty. Trade remedies, quotas and VAT are not included. The data come from ARCA (formerly AFIP), which publishes them as a daily file.
