Argentina's Supreme Court case between Louis Dreyfus Company and customs over export duties from 2007-2008 has been resolved, with the company's claim for refunds upheld. The ruling raises the question of who can set export duties and under what limits, revisiting the 2008 Resolution 125 conflict.
The ruling could constrain the executive's ability to change export taxes by decree, adding policy uncertainty to Argentine grain and oilseed exports. Its direct price impact on world grain markets is limited.
