This will allow those who need to import to be certain of the date from which they will be able to have access to the dollars necessary to pay for the merchandise.
The new system includes:
- An analysis of the financial economic capacity of the importer and the customs and fiscal risk profile of each importer. For example, the abusive use of injunctions, over and under billing, apocryphal invoices, among others, will be taken into account.
- Single current account for foreign trade. From the time the SIRA is born until the dollars are transferred, there will be “traceability”, both from the office and from the bank with which it was operated.
- Facilities for SMEs and civil entities, especially in relation to time. The goal is to give you “term predictability.” In addition, the payment terms will be shortened to 60 days of payment from the arrival of the merchandise. “Today that period is 180 days,” a source with knowledge of the regulations told Ámbito. This decision makes it possible to organize the payment flow for companies. The Central Bank is going to adapt its regulations to this new decision.
- Facilitated procedure for imports that do not require access to the MULC for currency transfer. This is different from article 72 of the Budget project, in which the Executive Power proposed a money laundering regime for those who want to apply undeclared funds to the importation of goods for production. In the case of the new system, there will be a possibility to mark the import with a particular label that informs “without foreign exchange”.
These changes, estimated from the Ministry of Economy, are valid as of October 17. In the transition, the validity of the approved SIMIs will be maintained so as not to affect the rights, although they do indicate that the inspection work will continue and see cases of overinvoicing and precautionary measures.
When the new SIRA enters into force, from the national administration They estimate that all the previous injunctions presented by companies to be able to access the import of goods at the official dollar value “become abstract”. “They all fall because the previous regime is no longer in force,” they indicated.
This new regulation was implemented after 60 days of joint work between the Ministry of Commerce, Customs and the AFIP, to analyze the fraudulent maneuvers through which companies sought access to the MULC to import at the official dollar.
Among other data, they detected that there were duplicate SIMIs. Between January and September 27 of this year, the import FOB value was “U$57,531 million dollars”, although “however, those same importers for those same goods registered merchandise for U$94,076 million, with which they have 65% more than SIMIS presented for the amount that was actually imported”.
