Foreign trade doubled in recent months, with Amazon and Mercado Libre leading the growth. According to Gabriel Salomón, a specialist in Foreign Trade, the volume of daily packages at Ezeiza went from 4,000 to 10,000, with higher demand peaks.
The Government eliminated taxes and restrictions that made international purchases more expensive, including:
- Elimination of the PAIS Tax.
- Reduction of tariffs and customs controls.
- Suppression of reference values and technical regulations.
