The window is open.
Four regulatory forces are reshaping LATAM sourcing simultaneously — from both sides of the Atlantic. Brands that move first build supplier relationships and auditable compliance records before enforcement catches the rest.
EU lane · EU-Mercosur FTA · HS 61/62 apparel · In force Jan 2026
12% MFN
→ 0% by 2035
HS 61/62 apparel duties step down 1.2% every January. Every order still run at MFN rates is margin left in the supply chain.
10-year phase-out
1.2% each January
EUDR is active.
Due Diligence Statements must be filed before regulated goods enter the EU. Geo-polygon verification required. Retroactive filing rejected under Article 10.
UFLPA rebuttable presumption.
US Customs and Border Protection presumes forced labor for any goods with LATAM supply chain exposure. The burden of proof falls on the importer — not CBP. LATAM textile chains are an active target.
CSDDD coming.
EU companies above 1,000 employees need documented supply chain due diligence. Building it takes 6–18 months from zero.

buyer wire exposure
Stripe Escrow
Buyer funds held in Stripe-backed escrow with manual capture. Supplier paid per milestone only after your confirmation. Full ledger maintained on Merco and Stripe.
Scope of service. Merco is a workflow platform, not a customs broker or legal compliance advisor. The EUDR due diligence obligation under Article 4 rests with the EU operator of record. For US-bound shipments, the UFLPA rebuttable presumption obligation and CBP entry documentation rest with the importer of record. Customs declarations, import duties, and regulatory submissions remain the buyer's responsibility. Full compliance methodology · Roles and responsibilities
