Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to import into Argentina?

It depends on the product. General goods clear Argentina customs without a sector licence, but regulated sectors (medical devices, pharmaceuticals) require a specific permit, registration or licence from the regulator named on this page.

How do I check an importer in Argentina is allowed to bring in my product?

Ask the buyer for the import permit or product-registration number for the sector, then confirm it with the named regulator. A genuine importer of regulated goods already holds one; a buyer who cannot produce it may not clear customs.

Is importing a specific product into Argentina ever banned?

Most sectors are permitted with the right licence or registration. Always confirm the current rule with the named regulator before shipping.
