Regulatory Consulting

Tariff classification, rules of origin, SPS/TBT requirements — we help you understand regulations and use EU-Mercosur preferences.

Tariff classification determines how much duty you pay. One error in the HS code — and instead of 0% you pay 26%. We help companies correctly classify goods, verify rules of origin and meet SPS/TBT requirements. We have analysed all 23 chapters and every annex of the agreement. We know what's in the documents — and translate it into real savings for your business.

A typical audit takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of tariff codes and complexity of operations. You receive a final report with specific recommendations and estimated potential savings.

Rules of origin define when a product qualifies as made in the EU or Mercosur. Only goods meeting these criteria can benefit from reduced tariff rates. We verify whether your product meets the requirements and help obtain the appropriate certificate.
