What are the Pre-importation and Exportation Permits?
Pre-importation and exportation permits are authorizations issued by the Ministry of Economy within the framework of non-tariff regulations, allowing companies and individuals to legally import and export specific goods. These permits are crucial for ensuring the regulation and promotion of foreign trade, protecting the competitiveness of the national economy, and safeguarding the well-being of the population.
Products Subject to Pre-importation and Exportation Permits
Some examples of products that require pre-importation permits include second-hand clothing, used tires, used vehicles, research and development materials, anti-pollution equipment and agricultural products covered by international agreements such as the Uruguay Trade Agreement, Chile Free Trade Agreement and ALADI. Industrial diamonds are also included, as they are subject to highly strict regulations.
For those involved in exporting, it’s important to note that certain products like industrial diamonds and iron ore also require pre-exportation permits. These permits ensure transparent and regulated foreign trade.
