| Sumario: | Mercosur, despite has achieved important advances in its integration process, still presents some holes and loopholes, especially those related to the common external tariff (CET). This paper analyses Mercosur countries policies in relation to extrabloc tariffs in 1990s, comparing them with theoretical approaches that explain their determination. The two main approaches that explain the CET determination in a customs union, terms of trade and endogenous tariff formation, seem to give theoretical support to the increase in Mercosur protectionism in relation to non-members of the bloc occurred after the CET’s implementation. |
