21 October 2024 Argentina reduces payment term for imports On 17 October 2024, the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) issued Communication "A" 8118, which establishes that access to the Foreign Exchange Market for the purpose of deferred payment for imports of goods officialized as from 21 October 2024 may be made as from 30 days after the imports are officialized. (Previously, 50% was to be paid after 30 days and the remaining 50% paid after 60 days.) This new provision applies to all goods — except petroleum oils, petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, electric energy, among others — for which import costs may be paid through the Foreign Exchange Market from the date of the customs entry registration of the goods. Reducing the payment term should enable entities to send payments for imports abroad in a more timely fashion.
