Some speculate the restrictions on international parcels flows may also be targeted at the Argentinian postal authority, Correo Argentino. Why, for example, do parcels have to be picked up by the consignee and not delivered to their door? The AFIP themselves suggested that the new rules were a way to trace the transactions.
International courier clearance to Argentina also remains very difficult.
The government has suggested that they will issue a list of items that will be exempt from the regulations. The AFIP also has mandated that a form used for purchase from foreign suppliers (4550/T) must be completed by individuals whose goods are being transported into Argentina via the postal stream or an approved courier.
Despite increased regulations, e-commerce purchases in Argentina have continued to grow. It is has been estimated that over 1 million Argentinian consumers made international online purchases.
The new regulations prove the impact of international e-commerce on traditional supply chains and sales systems. We expect other countries to feel threatened by e-commerce parcel flows. However, the free flow of parcels is a benefit to the world’s economy and attempts to halt the flow will ultimately prove ineffective as consumers demand the infinite choices and quality of goods available via cross border e-commerce.
