China is important trading partner with Argentina. In 2020, the bilateral trade volume is 13.9 billion U.S. dollars, of which China’s exports are 8.6 billion U.S. dollars. Argentina mainly imports electromechanical equipment and electronic appliances (customs code chapters 84 and 85, accounting for 36% of imports), vehicles and accessories (customs code chapter 87), fossil fuels (customs code chapter 27) and organic chemicals (customs code chapter 29) and so on. Common features are:

 

1. The import tax rate is high. Some commodities are as high as 90% tax rate.

 

2. Customs clearance is complicated. Import and export documents such as bills of lading, customs clearance invoices and packing lists are required to display the recipient's CUIT number and HS code, etc. To verify in advance whether they are capable of customs clearance.

 

3. Avoid transit from via USA by air transportation. Due to flight distance restrictions, there are currently no direct flights between China and Argentina (January 2022). Most of them need to transit through the United States, especially in Miami, and the cost is relatively low. However, the U.S. Customs will inspect the transit cargo. In order to avoid checking, some customers will request transit from other regions outside the United States, such as Dubai and Doha in the Middle East, London, Amsterdam and Istanbul in Europe, and Addis Bay in Africa(service is general), Sydney in Oceania and so on. In addition, air transportation generally requires original invoices and packing lists for Argentine recipients to clear customs, and the seller must provide documents to the transport agent to take them abroad with the plane.

 

4. Deposit. International express DHL/FEDEX/UPS arrival to Argentina, in order to ensure that importers can clear customs in time, some channels will require 30% of the value of the goods to be paid in advance and a minimum tariff deposit of RMB3000, it can be refunded after the recipient picks up the goods.
