What could change in your next purchase or sale?
If you sell from Uruguay
Savings depend on the product. Pulp already entered duty-free; other goods use quotas or preferences. Compare the access you already had with the additional benefit that applies.
If you buy from the EU
Ask for a quotation separating price, transport, duty and taxes. Where applicable, compare the cost delivered to destination with and without the preference.
