Clear answers on customs regulations, logistics, and strategic alliances for B2B operations.
A customs declaration, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, bill of lading, and in many cases, international transport insurance are needed. Clearance times usually range between 5 and 15 business days, depending on the port of entry.
It is formalized through a shareholders' agreement or a collaboration contract. It is essential to define capital contribution, risk distribution, governance, and dispute resolution mechanisms. We recommend including confidentiality clauses and prior due diligence.
The most common bottlenecks include port congestion in Buenos Aires, delays at border crossings such as Paso de los Libres, and exchange rate volatility affecting freight costs. A contingency plan with alternative routes and real-time monitoring helps mitigate these risks.
Tariffs vary depending on the tariff heading. For industrial machinery, they are usually between 0% and 14%, plus VAT and the statistical fee. There are temporary import regimes that reduce costs if the equipment is re-exported.
The complete process, from the arrival of the goods to release, can take between 7 and 20 business days. Factors such as incomplete documentation, physical inspections, or regulatory changes can extend the timeline. A prior review of the documentation significantly reduces delays.
Cargo transport insurance is mandatory in most international contracts (Incoterms CIF or CIP). It covers damage, loss, and theft during transit. For high-value operations, additional insurance covering political and delay risks is recommended.
Our expertise in international trade and strategic alliances is based on concrete results, not generic promises.
We work with current Argentine customs regulations for importing capital goods. Each recommendation is supported by the correct tariff classification and actual clearance timelines.
We analyze trade routes, port infrastructure, and exchange rate volatility. Our contingency plans reduce supply chain disruptions for large-scale operations.
We design cross-border collaboration agreements with shared governance and clear risk distribution. Each alliance is based on due diligence and solid confidentiality agreements.
We have participated in metalworking and chemical operations. Results are reflected in reduced import lead times and joint venture agreements that meet production targets.
We apply tracking tools for key trade corridors such as Paso de los Libres and the Port of Buenos Aires. This allows us to adjust routes in the face of bottlenecks or weather changes.
Companies in the industrial sector trust us for repeated cross-border operations. The relationship is sustained by technical precision and the ability to anticipate customs issues.
