Argentina Authorizes Sworn Declarations as Customs Guarantees for All Operations

Operational rollout hinges on ARCA and Customs setting eligibility criteria.

Overview

  • Decree 838/2025 was published in the Boletín Oficial and took effect, modifying article 56 of Decree 1001/1982.
  • Importers and exporters may present a signed declaration as a sufficient guarantee for definitive and suspensive destinaciones under conditions set by ARCA.
  • The change reduces reliance on costly insurance bonds and bank guarantees where the new modality is permitted.
  • The decree also repeals subsection e) of article 56, eliminating an outdated guarantee option.
  • Officials cite lower costs and greater transparency, with Minister Federico Sturzenegger revising his post on X and Customs now tasked with identifying eligible operators and operations.
