ARCA Reaffirms Shein and Temu Import Rules, Adds 30-Day Receipt Confirmation Requirement

ARCA rejects claims of a purchase ban on the platforms.

Overview

  • Buyers must confirm delivery on ARCA’s portal within 30 calendar days when parcels are delivered by Correo Argentino, using CUIT and Clave Fiscal.
  • Failure to complete the confirmation can trigger a block on new shipments and the package may be retained, according to current guidance.
  • Resolution No. 3916 limits small‑parcel imports to personal use only, with up to three units per item, a maximum weight of 50 kg per shipment, and a total value cap of USD 3,000.
  • ARCA states no new control requirements were introduced and denies any blanket restriction on purchases from Shein or Temu.
  • All international orders are cleared by Aduana Argentina, so platform tracking may show progress while official release and delivery depend on customs processing.
