Abrogation of the Automatic and Non-automatic Import Licensing Regime
Among the changes made to the import regime, the Secretariat of Trade abrogated Resolution No. 523/2017 that had established the import licensing regime.
On December 26, 2023, Resolution No. 1/2023 of the Secretariat of Trade was published in the Official Gazzette. It abrogates Resolution No 523/2017 from the same public agency thus eliminating the distinction between automatic and non-automatic import licenses fro all goods included in the Mercosur Common Nomenclature.
Starting on December 27, 2023, imports of goods will only be subject to the Statistical System for Imports “SEDI” information regime (which replaces the Argentine System of Imports and Payments of Services Abroad “SIRA” regime) established by means of Joint General Resolution No. 5466/2023, issued by the Federal Tax Authority and the Secretariat of Commerce.
