In the middle of the shopping rage abroad on platforms such as Shein and Temu, Arca was issued with respect to the versions that questioned the continuity of the current Courier system. What he said.
After some versions that generated confusion in this regard, the National Collection and Customs Control Agency (ARCA) He assured that It will not block the purchase of products on platforms such as Shein and Temu that they became rapidly in our country thanks to their economic prices and the Courier system in force in the country.
The version arose after the publication of an analysis carried out by the Argentine industrial chamber of the clothing (CIAI) that, with data from the INDEC and of BCRA who claimed that the Argentines had made a record expense between January and May of this year for USD 1572 million for purchases of clothing abroad. The phenomenon of door -to -door shipping from the outside included, of course, SHEIN effect among Argentines.
He immediately began to circulate what we know today as Fake News -For your name in English, false news– That said that ARK I would start controlling purchases abroad. However, the former AFIP clarified that It is not true that the purchases made in the Shein store are going to block in case of not complying with an alleged new requirement.

Ark: These are the requirements to buy in Shein
The false news that circulated indicated that Arca would block those purchases of users who would not have confirmed the acquisition in the “international postal shipments” section in Argentine mail. The version not only was not true, but at the same time, it is not a step that should be made within the purchase process, but the mail itself. Hence the strong denial made by Arca to bring tranquility to those who bought products with the new Courier system.
What are then the requirements to buy on platforms such as Shein?
- Shipments of up to 3 units of the same species.
- Products that enter the country cannot have a commercial purpose.
- Packages cannot exceed 50 kg.
- They must be valued in an amount equal to or less than USD 3000 per shipment.

Contrary to what happens in our country and within the framework of the fierce tariff policy that the government of Donald Trump It imposes with the rest of the world, recently the US suspended the entry of small packages without tariffs, which complicates the trade of companies such as Shein and Temu, which could take measures that cause repercussion in consumers for the cost involved in these tariffs.
The president of the United States eliminated the “Minimis exemption“, which allowed to enter shipments without taxes with a value equal to USD 800 to the country. The exemption had been eliminated in May for shipments from China and Hong Kong, in the middle of the commercial war. The last measure taken affects all the remaining countries of the world.
