+ Argentina is one of the world's major producers and exporters of grain and meat, and a country with relatively strong comprehensive national strength in Latin America. The industrial categories are relatively complete, and the agriculture and animal husbandry are developed.
Argentina Customs Data is built on import declaration records published by the Argentine customs authority (AFIP/ARCA), covering goods entering Argentina. It provides a rare three-level price hierarchy (sub-item → item → declaration), quadruple-currency pricing (USD + ARS peso + CNY + contract currency), customs-warehousing regime coding (SUSPENSIVE IMPORT REGIME), brand-type and product-attribute fields (NANJING, N400-NB01-P4001), and honest data-quality visibility (exporter name "N/A" with country still recorded). Below is a complete breakdown of the data field system, illustrated with a sample record (Argentina import, August 2026).

🧮 Three-Level Price Hierarchy
Prices roll up through sub-item (No. 27: 100 UNITS @ USD 5.5 = 550) → item (No. 2: 1,044 UNITS, FOB 9,461 / CIF 10,237.93) → declaration (FOB 20,425.35 / CIF 20,525.62) — SKU-level to shipment-level costing in one record.
💱 Quadruple-Currency Pricing
Values in USD, ARS peso (sub-item 824,746.56; item CIF 15,352,177.31 — implied ≈1,500 ARS/USD), CNY (sub-item 3,705 @ 37.04853) and a contract-currency track (UNITED STATES DOLLARS) — four parallel books for the same shipment.
🏛️ Warehousing-Regime Coding
Regime: CUSTOMS WAREHOUSING, SUSPENSIVE IMPORT REGIME — goods enter storage before final importation, and the record preserves the regime at both summary and detailed levels.
🏷️ Brand + Product Attributes
Fields beyond the tariff text: Brand Type (NANJING), Product Attribute (N400-NB01-P4001), Product Ref (YELLOW INK BIDON 000009 000151) — model/SKU-level identification.
🔍 Honest Data-Quality States
The exporter name is recorded as N/A while country (China, CN) and logistics stay complete — the data preserves absence honestly, so you can filter and segment on it instead of guessing.

💡 Data Value Highlight
Argentina Customs Data delivers a three-level price hierarchy (sub-item → item → declaration), quadruple-currency pricing with contract-currency tracking, warehousing-regime coding and brand/attribute fields — ideal for Argentine buyer development, SKU-level cost benchmarking, FX back-testing under peso volatility and regímenes especiales analysis.
Q1: What is Argentina Customs Data?
Argentina Customs Data covers import declaration records for Argentina (AR) from AFIP/ARCA. Each record contains the importer with CUIT code, exporter fields with honest N/A states, Spanish tariff text with brand and product attributes, warehousing-regime coding, and a three-level price hierarchy (sub-item → item → declaration) in four currency tracks. The sample record shown is an August 2026 vessel shipment of yellow printing ink (HS 32151900919) by SIGN SOLUTIONS SA from China, under customs warehousing regime.
Q2: What makes Argentina data unique?
Four core differentiators:
1. Three-level price hierarchy — sub-item, item and declaration totals in one record.
2. Four currency tracks — USD, ARS peso, CNY and the contract currency (e.g. UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
3. Regime coding — CUSTOMS WAREHOUSING, SUSPENSIVE IMPORT REGIME captured at two levels.
4. Brand/attribute fields — Brand Type (NANJING), Product Attribute (N400-NB01-P4001), SKU references.
Q3: How frequently is the data updated?
Updated by month with full historical backfill. The sample record is month 202608, dated 2026-08-31, declaration No. 26001JDA4004330A, customs BUENOS AIRES.
Q4: How do I use the CUIT field?
- CUIT (30-71880125-2): the Argentine tax ID; the leading "30" identifies a corporation (individuals start with 20/23/27).
- Use it to deduplicate buyers and verify standing in AFIP/ARCA registries.
- The importer here is SIGN SOLUTIONS SA — signage-sector buyer of yellow printing ink.
Q5: What do the three price levels mean?
Argentine declarations carry a nested structure:
- Sub-item level (this sample: No. 27): 100 UNITS, FOB USD 5.5/unit = 550; ARS 3,247.47/unit = 824,746.56; contract 5.5/550 in UNITED STATES DOLLARS; RMB unit 37.04853 = 3,705.
- Item level (No. 2): 1,044 UNITS, FOB USD 9,461, CFR 10,186.99, CIF 10,237.93, CIF ARS 15,352,177.31, freight USD 724.99.
- Declaration level: FOB USD 20,425.35, CIF USD 20,525.62.
Roll up or drill down — the same shipment is auditable at SKU and shipment granularity.
Q6: What product is HS code 32151900919?
HS 3215.19.00.919 covers printing ink, other than black — other. The Argentine tariff text reads LAS DEMAS. CON UNA CONCENTRACION DE MATERIA COLORANTE INFERIOR O IGUAL AL 10%... ("the others, with coloring-matter concentration ≤ 10%"). Sample attributes: Brand Type NANJING, Product Ref YELLOW INK BIDON 000009 000151, attribute N400-NB01-P4001. It belongs to:
- Sub-industry: Other Chemicals; Industry: Chemicals
Yellow ink in bidons feeds wide-format/signage printing — consistent with the buyer SIGN SOLUTIONS SA.
Q7: What does "CUSTOMS WAREHOUSING, SUSPENSIVE IMPORT REGIME" mean?
It is an in-bound warehousing regime: goods are stored in a customs warehouse with duties suspended, pending final importation, re-export or return.
- The regime appears in both the summary field and the detailed trade-type field.
- Route: loading port CNSGH (Shanghai) → vessel → BUENOS AIRES, Incoterm FOB.
- Analytics tip: warehoused volumes are not yet final consumption — net them out when sizing the domestic market.
Q8: How should I treat the exporter "N/A" fields?
The exporter name is genuinely absent (N/A, N.A. LIMITED, N-A) while Country (China, CN), origin (China, CN) and loading port (CNSGH) remain filled.
- Filter on country + port + product attributes to profile the supply lane even without a name.
- Cross-reference Brand Type (NANJING) with Chinese ink manufacturers to hypothesize the supplier.
- Do not fabricate a supplier name — the data's honest N/A beats a guess.
Q9: How do I develop Argentine buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter by HS chapter (this sample: 3215 — inks) and month.
2. Extract buyer name and CUIT (SIGN SOLUTIONS SA, 30-71880125-2).
3. Check repeat-import frequency by CUIT across months.
4. Pitch in Spanish referencing the exact products (yellow ink bidons, NANJING brand) and the warehousing regime they use.
Q10: How do I run FX back-testing with four currency tracks?
Steps:
1. Take one sub-item: USD 5.5/unit vs ARS 3,247.47/unit → implied ≈ 590 ARS/USD at contract level; item CIF 10,237.93 USD vs 15,352,177.31 ARS → implied ≈ 1,500 ARS/USD.
2. Track the implied rate across months — a record of official vs settlement-rate divergence.
3. Use the CNY track (37.04853/unit) for China-sourcing comparisons.
4. Flag records where the contract currency deviates from USD.
Q11: How do I benchmark SKU-level costs?
Steps:
1. Pull sub-item unit prices (USD 5.5 per UNIT) by product attribute (N400-NB01-P4001).
2. Compare FOB → CFR → CIF at item level: 9,461 → 10,186.99 → 10,237.93 (freight 724.99, insurance ~4).
3. Benchmark per-unit costs across importers buying the same Brand Type (NANJING).
4. Track sub-item counts (27 sub-items here) as a complexity metric per declaration.
Q12: How do I analyze special import regimes?
Analytical dimensions:
1. Regime mix: warehousing-suspensive (this sample) vs direct consumption vs temporary.
2. Dwell proxy: warehoused goods' eventual liquidation, by customs (BUENOS AIRES).
3. Lane: CNSGH (Shanghai) → vessel → Argentina, FOB terms — China-lane share per HS code.
4. Incoterm: FOB share signals who controls freight into Argentina.
Q13: How do I spot hot products and assess risk?
Hot products: rank import value by HS code; flag YoY growth > 20%; yellow printing ink (this sample) tracks Argentina's signage and packaging-printing demand.
Risk framework:
1. FX risk — ARS volatility is extreme; the four currency tracks make it measurable per shipment.
2. Regime risk — warehoused goods may be re-exported; never treat suspensive volumes as final demand.
3. Data risk — N/A exporter names: segment by country/port/brand instead, and validate hypotheses against Chinese registries before outreach.
