Shipping to Argentina. By sea and air, with documents checked first.
We ship machinery, spare parts and industrial products to Argentina by sea and air. Before each departure we check with the importer which authorisations are required at that time.
Answers to the most common questions.
How do you ship to Argentina?
By sea in a full container or groupage to Buenos Aires, and by air for spare parts and urgent goods.
Which documents are needed to export to Argentina?
Commercial invoice, packing list and transport document with the importer's details; plus the authorisations the importer must confirm before shipment.
Is wooden packaging allowed?
Yes, if treated and marked to the ISPM 15 standard. Non-compliant packaging is stopped on arrival.
What is needed to ship to Argentina?
A market tied to Italy
Argentina has a historic bond with Italy and an industry that buys European machinery, components and spare parts. Most goods arrive at the port of Buenos Aires; from there they continue by road to Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza and the other provinces.
Import rules
Argentine rules on imports, licences and payments abroad have changed several times in recent years. It is unwise to rely on past experience: before shipping we ask the importer to confirm the authorisations needed and the details to show on the documents, including their tax number.
Documents with no discrepancies
Invoice, packing list and bill of lading must match in every detail: description, weights, number of packages. Discrepancies lead to penalties and storage in port. We send the draft documents to your customer before loading, to correct what is needed while it is still possible.
Sea, air and packing
For volume, a full container or sea groupage is used; for spare parts and urgent goods, air freight, as IATA cargo agents. Wooden packaging must be treated and marked to ISPM 15, a standard Argentina checks carefully.
