your benefit

You will learn the details of the agreement between the EU and the Mercosur countries and, at the same time, understand how Brazil's tax reform changes the actual cost burden on your exports.

• Rules of origin under the agreement, using concrete calculation examples
• Proof of originating status and implications for supplier communication
