US$1,000 and 50KG limits set for incoming packages Friday, July 22, 2016 Door-to-door deliveries on wayArgentines find it almost impossible to deal with bureaucracy at the Central Post Office. While the number of imports per person will be extended and door-to-door courier services reintroduced, proof of sale will still be required by the customer to receive their imported goods. The government’s long-anticipated plan to reintroduce door-to-door international delivery in Argentina moved a step closer yesterday after the AFIP tax bureau released details of its new proposals. Production Minister Francisco Cabrera, who won plaudits for criticizing the previous AFIP rules that complicated the importing books and other educational resources from overseas, said in January that the new rules would overturn previous frustrations such as these. The new regulation anticipated in AFIP’s press release will apply to private postage services such as Fedex, Amazon and DHL.
