Four pillars of export knowledge

Each workshop module addresses a distinct and essential area of the export process — from paperwork to logistics pricing.

Customs Documentation

Understand which documents are required for each export operation, how they are completed, and the role each one plays in the customs clearance process.

Simplified Export Regime

Learn the specific framework available to smaller exporters in Argentina, including thresholds, procedures, and the differences compared to the general regime.

Export Duty Calculation

Understand how export duties and retenciones are calculated, which tariff positions apply, and how currency regulations interact with export proceeds.

Freight Forwarder Negotiation

Identify what freight forwarders actually do, how to compare their offers, and which terms and conditions deserve close attention before signing.

What you will learn

Each module builds on the previous one, creating a complete picture of the export process from start to finish.

Customs documentation in depth

Every export operation requires a specific set of documents. Knowing what each one is, when it is required, and how errors can delay or block a shipment is foundational knowledge for any exporter.

  • Permisos de Embarque and their stages
  • Commercial invoice requirements by destination
  • Certificate of origin: types and procedures
  • Packing list and its relationship to the invoice
  • Phytosanitary and other sector-specific certificates

Export regulations and regimes

Argentina has distinct export regimes depending on the value and nature of the goods being exported. Understanding which regime applies to your business determines which procedures to follow.

  • General export regime vs. simplified regime
  • Thresholds and eligibility for simplified regime
  • AFIP registration and RG requirements
  • Currency settlement obligations (BCRA)

Logistics and freight forwarders

Choosing a freight forwarder is not just about price. Understanding the services they provide, how quotes are structured, and what Incoterms mean for your responsibility is essential before any negotiation.

  • What freight forwarders do and do not do
  • Reading and comparing freight quotes
  • Incoterms 2020: which ones work for SMEs
  • Container types, LCL vs. FCL considerations

Understanding destination markets

Each destination country has its own import requirements, labeling standards, and certification processes. Knowing these before you ship prevents costly rejections and delays at the destination port.

  • How to research market access requirements
  • Tariff and non-tariff barriers by region
  • Labeling and packaging standards
  • Working with importers and distributors

Knowledge that stays with you after the workshop

These workshops are structured around practical scenarios drawn from real export operations. The goal is to leave participants able to read a customs document, evaluate a freight quote, and understand which regulations apply — independently.

Built for Argentine SMEs entering export markets

Many small and medium businesses in Argentina have products with export potential but lack the internal knowledge to navigate the process. The paperwork, the regulations, the logistics — it can all feel opaque.

These workshops address that gap directly. They are not consulting services and do not offer dispatch or intermediation. The purpose is to build internal capacity within your team so that you can understand what is happening at each stage of an export operation.

Participants range from business owners exploring export for the first time to operations staff who need to understand the documentation their company already handles.
