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:

Whatever it is that you’re shipping to Mendoza, you’ll want to be absolutely certain that it reaches its destination in perfect condition. We’ve been handling packages for many years, and in that time we’ve developed a service that is second to none.
Mendoza is one of Argentina’s chief olive oil and wine producing regions. Indeed, the area around the city is the biggest wine producing area in Latin America, meaning that the city is emerging as a leading destination for wine tourism and as a base for exploring the many local wineries. Other tourists drawn to Mendoza are those interested in horse riding, hiking, rafting, mountaineering and, in the winter, skiing in the Andes. On top of this, Mendoza has been listed by National Geographic magazine as being one of the world’s top ten historic destinations.
When you visit our website to arrange your Mendoza package delivery, the first thing you’ll notice is the comprehensive nature of the service we offer. Every aspect of your Mendoza shipping is covered in the most professional manner possible. The couriers we have for you to choose from are household names, the very best in the field with the kind of reputations that will assure you that your Mendoza delivery will be handled with the kind of care and respect you yourself would apply. Offering the best service for your Mendoza shipping, however, doesn’t mean that we charge the highest price. Quite the reverse – we’ve worked with these couriers long enough and often enough to be able to negotiate market-leading prices on behalf of our customers, so your Mendoza parcel delivery isn’t going to break the bank.
However, it’s not just the basics of your Mendoza delivery that we do so well; we also go out of our way to provide the extra touches that mark us out from our competitors. One of these is providing online access to a parcel shop. Here you’re able to purchase a variety of double-walled export strength boxes, bubble wrap, tape and anything else that will help ensure the safety of your parcel. Whether it’s an important piece of business gadgetry or a gift, you’ll be able to wrap it in such a way to make sure it reaches Mendoza in perfect condition. This, along with the professional handling of our carefully selected couriers, means that your shipping to Mendoza, package delivery to Rosario or Cordoba parcel delivery is in the best possible hands.
Our online shop is just one example of the way in which we go the extra mile for our customers – we also offer the flexibility of booking through your phone on our mobile-optimised website (Mobisite) or collecting your shipping to Mendoza at your convenience from the address of your choosing – it’s the least we can do.
Innovation in the way we interact with you our customers is what sets us apart. We want your user experience to be as smooth and satisfying as possible so you can spend less time tapping away on our website and more time enjoying your day or working on far more important tasks. Our website, and everything we do to ensure that your packages arrive quickly, safely and affordably are subject to continuous assessment to see whether we can improve upon our service or suggest new and better ways of working with you. And, it’s this innovation that we feel is the reason why our customers come back to us time and time again.
