Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the treatment for your NCM line with ARCA (formerly AFIP).
Import requirements for Argentina
Essential Oils is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Argentina. Essential oils are traded on purity / GC specifications; cosmetic-use oils follow the market’s cosmetics rules (e.g. EU Cosmetics Regulation, IFRA), and food-flavor oils may additionally need food-safety clearance. Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Argentina’s customs and standards authority.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
