Before sending a parcel to Argentina, the most important step is to check whether your goods are on the local prohibited list. Argentina strictly controls imports of animal and plant products, chemicals and second-hand goods, and sending the wrong items can lead to your parcel being held or returned. This guide covers the common prohibited items for Argentina, customs essentials, and a pre-shipping checklist.
Customs and tax matters in Argentina are handled by the Federal Revenue and Customs Agency (ARCA, formerly AFIP). Argentina's import rules change frequently, so check the latest requirements with your recipient before shipping.
Parcels sent to Argentina must clear local customs, and the recipient usually pays duties and other import charges based on the product category and declared value. Rates vary widely between products, so check the local rules with your recipient before shipping, or refer to the latest information on the Argentina customs website.
To reduce clearance delays, fill in the product description, quantity, value and HS code on the commercial invoice accurately and in detail. Avoid vague descriptions such as “gift” or “sample”.
Besides the destination's customs rules, international couriers have their own prohibited and restricted items rules. Take extra care with the following items when shipping to most countries:
