Product approval procedures for selling in Argentina
Find the approval your product needs
Each page below covers one procedure: what it is, which products it affects, what you as manufacturer must supply, what your Argentine buyer files, official agency fees with their source and date, estimated timing and the risks of selling without it.
Not sure which applies? Several products need more than one approval, for example electrical safety plus energy efficiency labeling, or RNE plus RNPA plus import authorization for food. Ask about your product and we will map it.
