Argentine Customs

Argentine customs has been part of the structure of the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) ever since the latter was established in 1997. AFIP is an autonomous entity within the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance and encompasses the Customs General Directorate, the Tax General Directorate and the Social Security Resources General Directorate. The institution is therefore responsible for the administration of the tax and customs system and for the execution of the State’s national tax policy.
