Kim Kataguiri: This tariff liberalization by Mercosur will be carried out gradually, over up to 15 years after the instrument enters into force.
Kim Kataguiri: However, national products considered particularly sensitive are excluded from this commitment, such as electrical machines and apparatus, optical, photographic and cinematographic instruments, among others.
The Agreement will also bring direct benefits to Brazilian agribusiness by stipulating rules that ensure predictability, transparency and speed in customs procedures for import, export and transit of goods, through the adoption of international standards and intensive use of information technology.
Kim Kataguiri: These are provisions that favor the insertion of Brazilian agricultural products into Southeast Asian markets, diversifying the destinations of our exports and consolidating Singapore as a strategic partner for Brazilian agriculture.
Kim Kataguiri: On environmental matters, the preamble of the Agreement already reaffirms the parties' commitment to promoting international trade in a manner that contributes to sustainable development in its economic, social and environmental dimensions.
