Foreign exchange tension: which are the 25 exporting companies that have not liquidated more than 1,500 million dollars

The Federal Justice ruled in favor of the Customs, which demanded preventive suspension of exporters who do not liquidate foreign currency. Total, reaches 25 companies and exceeds 1,500 million dollars.

The court decision came from a protection request against the Customs of the oil company El Cerco SRL of Rosario, and gives the green light to the state body.

Although the terms to settle currencies range from 15 days from shipping permit (soybeans) to 180 days (regional economies), there are cases of 365 days, but always with a maximum of 60 days for transactions between related companies.

“To take advantage of the gap, many exporters do not settle their currencies with the BCRA and leave it abroad or convert it at the exchange rate of cash with settlement,” customs said in a statement.

In this context, the Customs Agency has issued IG 07/2022 (DGA) containing the guidelines to be followed in cases where the Exporters fail to timely enter the foreign currency, establishing that, in the event of ascertained effective non-compliance, the agent in charge of the registry will inform the exporter so that, within a period of 10 days, he will arrange for the settlement of the corresponding currencies or guarantee the registration (bond insurance) or, in the absence of these requirements, the suspension as Exporter from the Customs Registry.
