Specifically, it analyses the mobilization of one important exporter group in the Spanish economy -sherry wine exporters- and Cádiz bay merchants, during the first attempt of tariff reform of the liberal regime. Through the study of parliamentarian debates, government documents, economic agents’ files, press and diplomatic documentation, it is analysed the means and results of the collective action of exporters and merchants. They defended .a commercial liberalization in order to increase their sales in the foreign markets. They attempted to construct a political coalition in order to change the tariff law with two main aims: Repeal of the ban .to import cotton and the signing of a commercial treaty with Great Britain. Finally, the results of their campaign according to structural and political factors are analysed too.
