Monitored Export: Operational Procedure
A new regime allows for remote customs control of export operations loaded at the enrolled exporters’ facilities.
The Argentine Tax Authority issued General Resolution 5861/2026, published in the Official Gazette on June 10, 2026, which establishes the operational guidelines for monitored exports carried out remotely, applicable to definitive exports under the in‑plant export loading regime.
The main operational aspects of the regime include:
- Enrollment in the regime: Applicants must submit Form OM 2295 with the required documentation. Customs will process the application and must issue a decision within 60 business days.
- Technical and control requirements: the Regime requires remote monitoring systems (CCTV) that allow Customs to get images of the goods prior to the filing of the export permit and up to five years after the operation.
- Filing the export permit: The exporter must expressly select the monitored export option when filing the export permit. Customs authorities will oversee the operation and authorize loading through real‑time monitoring.
- Seals: seals are self-managed by the operator, who must display them in images both before and after placing them.
- Contingencies: if there are technical failures or inconsistencies affecting control, the operation may be reverted to regular checking.
The regime is aimed at reducing operational times, logistics costs, and levels of in‑person intervention, aligned with trade facilitation standards and technology-based control.
