Argentina Removes Fiscal Barriers to Boost Tierra del Fuego Direct Sales

E-commerce shipments from the special customs zone will be treated as domestic deliveries to help manufacturers lower consumer prices.

Overview

  • Decree 535/2025 published on August 4 removes restrictions on VAT and income tax credits for direct-to-consumer sales from Tierra del Fuego.
  • Manufacturers can retain approximately 3% of VAT credits on final sales and will see tariff cuts split into 8% now and a further 8% in January 2026.
  • Under the new rules, e-commerce and courier deliveries from the special customs zone are classified as domestic internal shipments rather than imports.
  • Beneficiary companies must certify product origin under Law 19.640 and observe existing shipment limits of US$3,000 per package and three units per item per year.
  • AFIP, ARCA and the Treasury are finalizing implementation guidelines for the Milei administration’s broader deregulation agenda.
