What happened

Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services published manuals on the Siscomex portal to help companies understand the MERCOSUR–EFTA agreement and prepare to use its trade preferences.

Why it matters

Practical guidance around tariff schedules, origin rules and agreement procedures can determine whether companies are able to capture negotiated preferences in real operations.

What to watch

Companies planning to use the agreement should follow the official implementation timeline and review the final rules relevant to their products and origin documentation.
