Argentina has a strong appetite for UK goods — from fashion and cosmetics to technology and homeware. Many of the UK's most popular retailers simply do not ship directly to Argentina, or offer limited and expensive delivery options when they do. Send2Hub solves this by giving you a real UK delivery address at our secure warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent. Shop any UK retailer, have your parcels delivered to your UK address, consolidate them to save on shipping costs, and we forward everything to your door in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario or anywhere in Argentina.

Shop Any UK Retailer and Ship to Argentina

Your free Send2Hub UK address gives you access to the full range of UK online retail — including stores that do not offer direct international shipping to Argentina. Popular UK brands that Send2Hub customers in Argentina regularly shop include ASOS, Next, Marks & Spencer, The Body Shop, Boots, Superdry, River Island, John Lewis, Amazon UK and many more. Use your UK address at checkout exactly as you would any UK delivery address — your parcel arrives at our warehouse, we photograph and register it on arrival, and you forward it to Argentina when ready.

Save money with parcel consolidation. If you are ordering from multiple UK retailers, hold your parcels in free temporary storage and combine them into a single outbound shipment before forwarding to Argentina. Consolidation typically reduces your international shipping costs by 40–60% compared to shipping each item individually — one shipment, one customs declaration, one delivery. Learn more on our parcel consolidation page.

Argentina Customs and Import Information (2026)

Argentina's customs regulations are enforced by the Dirección General de Aduanas (DGA), which now operates under ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero) — the customs and revenue authority created in 2024 under President Milei's trade liberalisation reforms, replacing the former AFIP. The previous import licensing system (SIRA, and later SEDI) was fully eliminated in February 2025, significantly simplifying the import process for all goods entering Argentina.

Import Duties and Taxes

Argentina applies ad valorem duties assessed on the CIF (cost + insurance + freight) value of imported goods. Duty rates range from 0% to 35% depending on the product category, calculated using the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM) — Argentina's harmonised tariff system aligned with the Mercosur trade bloc. In addition to customs duty, import VAT of 21% applies to the CIF value plus any applicable duty. Use our worldwide customs duty estimator to get an indication of charges for your specific shipment.

De Minimis Threshold

Argentina's de minimis threshold for postal shipments is USD $50. All low-value parcels — including those below this threshold — now incur full duties and VAT following recent changes to import regulations. There is effectively no duty-free allowance for most commercial goods shipped to Argentina. We recommend accurately declaring the value of all shipments to avoid delays or penalties at Argentine customs.

CUIT Number Requirement

Argentine recipients importing goods via courier or freight services are typically required to provide their CUIT (Código Único de Identificación Tributaria) or CUIL number — Argentina's tax identification number. This must appear on customs and freight documents. Importers registered with ARCA may also need to confirm receipt of goods within 30 days of arrival. We recommend confirming requirements with your customs agent before shipping high-value items.

Required Documentation

Standard documentation required for customs clearance in Argentina includes a commercial invoice (with item descriptions, HS/NCM codes, declared values and CIF terms), a packing list (preferably in Spanish), and an air waybill or bill of lading. Send2Hub prepares all standard customs export documentation for every outbound shipment from our UK warehouse. Accurate and complete documentation is essential to avoid delays at Argentine customs.

Restricted and Prohibited Items

Argentina restricts or prohibits the import of certain goods including narcotics and controlled substances, weapons and ammunition, certain food products, fresh produce and plants requiring biosecurity clearance, and counterfeit goods. Electronics and certain luxury items may be subject to additional scrutiny. For a full list of items Send2Hub cannot ship, visit our prohibited and restricted items page.
