Customs
Argentina has some of the strictest import restrictions in Latin America. A personal import allowance of 50 USD without taxes applies — valid a maximum of once per year. Above this, IVA 21% + duty by category apply. The ongoing currency crisis and restrictions on peso-to-USD conversion complicate customs payment. Delivery times are long (15–30 days) and tracking frequently stops in Buenos Aires.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.

Frequently asked questions
Why is importing into Argentina so complicated?
Argentina has an ongoing currency crisis and restrictions on peso-to-USD conversion. Recipients paying customs duties must use the Correo Argentino online platform and pay in pesos at the official exchange rate. Argentina limits the number of personal imports per year — verify the current limit with AFIP before shipping. For commercial shipments, DHL Express with customs assistance is strongly recommended.
