Courier exports no longer capped at USD 3,000

Two general resolutions from ARCA (the former AFIP-Customs) simplify the simplified courier and mail regime for SMEs and entrepreneurs that export and import: (1) Resolución General 5883/2026 removes the USD 3,000 CEILING PER SHIPMENT that applied to EXPORTING through the courier regime — previously, once that value was exceeded the shipment 'fell out' of the simplified system and required a formal export with a full customs declaration (more cost and more time); there is now no value ceiling. (2) Resolución General 5884/2026 replaces Resolución General 4.447 and updates the procedure for international door-to-door postal IMPORTS (ceiling of USD 3,000, personal use, up to 3 units of the same kind): it allows the postal service to arrange with e-commerce platforms for taxes to be paid up front at the time of purchase, lets the recipient validate the declaration before the shipment reaches the country, and lets the postal service represent the recipient before Customs. Both resolutions were signed by Andrés Vázquez (Executive Director of ARCA) on July 29, 2026. They complement Decreto 604/2026 (an import allowance set at USD 400, up to 5 shipments a year) and pave the way for Resolución General 5886/2026 (August 3), which regulates postal EXPORTS, not just courier. prob · Jul 29, 2026 ↗

SMEs and entrepreneurial exporters that use the simplified courier regime to sell abroad without a formal customs declaration — the same user base that our satellite-services thesis identifies as customers for logistics and foreign trade in the mining and agro-industrial provinces. Also individual buyers importing by mail or e-commerce (Amazon, Shein, Temu), and Correo Argentino itself, which gains a new role as a tax and customs intermediary. prob · Jul 30, 2026 ↗
