Clear export gains for some EU products
Official factsheets highlight olive oil, wine, other beverages, chocolate and some dairy products. Current tariffs mentioned by EU sources could reach 31.5% for olive oil, 35% for wine and some drinks, and 20% for chocolate.
A controlled opening on the EU side
The EU insists that sensitive imports remain limited. The official figures mention a 99,000-tonne beef quota at 7.5% duty, 180,000 tonnes for poultry, plus quotas for ethanol, rice, honey and certain sugars.
Standards remain central
Food safety and phytosanitary standards do not disappear under the agreement. Imported products must still comply with EU rules, and EU communication also links the agreement to anti-deforestation requirements for relevant products.
The business takeaway
For a real agri-food project, companies need to look product by product: quota status, certification, origin, labelling, customs treatment and commercial channel. This is where customs and local professional support becomes essential.
