Simplified registration procedure for organic tea in Argentina
in ArgentinaTrade barrier summary
Argentina’s authorities previously required food imports from the UK, including tea, to be listed in its Food Code. The procedure for this was lengthy and unclear.
Argentina’s government has now published Decree 35/2025, which has simplified the process for importers of organic products. A sworn declaration is required rather than the traditional register in the Food Code. This facilitates a streamlined process for UK businesses exporting organic tea and other products to Argentina.
