The government has advanced new measures to intensify controls on foreign trade. While the economic team finalizes the details of the new import regime, customs formalized the creation of a comprehensive audit basis centralize information on reports of irregularities in purchases and sales abroad, with the aim of reduce foreign exchange outflows and lost revenue.
“The idea is to have the information unified in a database on the triangulation complaints, what will allow us to have a customs profile of the operations of each importer is as a truthfuleach customs area will now transmit the data to prepare a monthly report, “confirmed sources from the economic team, where they denied that the changes imply” more controls “.
The views are fixed on the summaries for over-invoicing on import and under-invoicing on export, in addition to triangulation for illegal purposes. The agency, led by Guillermo Michel, blocked irregular imports and the seizure of goods. He also intervened so that companies desist from advancing in precautionary measures. This Tuesday it did so with the purchase of imported roofing for nearly $ 65 million.
Within this framework, the customs created the complete basis for customs inspections (RADAR), a register that will be fed monthly with information from various sectors, including the valuation of the goods, in case of suspicion of commission of an infringement or crime in the context of an audit, as well as sufficient reasons to doubt the value documented in the destination in analysis.
According to Resolution 21, “the integration of economies globally, the expansion of digital commerce, the free movement of capital and differences in the taxation levels of countries have favored the increased tax evasion and avoidance and the transfer of profits to more benign tax jurisdictions by foreign trade operators, which poses a real risk to income, sovereignty and tax equity. “
For this reason, the AFIP body indicated that “it is necessary to investigate the control actions relating to the value of the goods being imported and exported in order to verify that the declared price coincides with those usual in the branch of industry or trade and with the of identical or similar goods, in order to detect deviations in the declared values ”.
On the other hand, the Secretary of Commerce today released another resolution that widens the barriers to a product list that ranges from golf clubs to chewing gum and whiskey. The rule states that a large group of finished items that entered the country via automatic licenses must now be moved with non-automatic licenses, which in practice will limit imports.
To put in a number: the Mercosur nomenclator has 10,000 positions that describe all the products that can enter the country. Of these, there were already around 1,900 with non-automatic licensing (LNA) and now another 2,745 will be added, according to the reports of the foreign trade specialist Esteban Marzorati, former director of imports of the nation.
