The Revenue and Customs Control Agency (ARCA in Spanish) has added Resolution General 5731/25, which incorporates the National Single Window Regime for Foreign Trade in Argentina (VUCEA in Spanish) to include the import notice and the import authorization for food products from the National Institute of Foods (INAL in Spanish) – National Administration of Medicines, Foods and Medical Technology (ANMAT in Spanish).
The Regulatory Decree 35/2025, which amended the Argentine Food Code, enabled the modernization of procedures related to the import and export of food, thereby facilitating trade and enhancing public health protection.
The implementation of this decree was carried out through ANMAT Disposition No. 537/2025, which established new guidelines for obtaining import notices and authorizations, adapting the system to the challenges of the global context and technological advancements.
Among the main achievements are the simplification of procedures, significantly reducing the time and administrative steps required to import or export food, the recognition of international standards, integrating high surveillance sanitary certifications from countries such as Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States, among others, as well as the guidelines of the Codex Alimentarius.
