Customs
Shipments containing personal effects must be cleared by consignee in a Customs office downtown Buenos Aires. Customs will require consignee's passport. Consignee will be expected to pay storage (if applicable). There will be duties and taxes to be paid by the consignee regardless of shipment contents.
Before sending your parcel to Argentina, please make sure that none of the items in your parcels contravene the restrictions imposed by customs at destination.
Customs website: http://www.afip.gov.ar/
Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Argentina, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Argentina is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

There are many reasons you may wish to organise shipping to Cordoba but, whatever the reason, you won’t feel truly at ease until you know for certain that your package has arrived at its intended destination. We utilise every piece of modern technology available to us to ensure that it’s simple for you to track your Cordoba parcel delivery until it’s safely handed over.
The Argentine city of Cordoba is second in size to the capital Buenos Aires. Located close to the centre of the country, it has a population of more than 1.3 million people and is home to the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, founded in 1613 and the oldest university in Argentina. The university is one of many historical buildings in the city, the most famous being the Jesuit Block, a group of buildings dating back to the 17th century, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It’s not all about history, however, Cordoba is seen as the technological heart of Argentina, home to the Centro Espacial Teófilo Tabanera, Argentina’s spaceport, and also to leading local employers in the technological industries, such as Intel, Motorola and Electronic Data Systems.
