What is the SEDI and why was it repealed?
The Government of Argentina has announced the repeal of the Statistical Import System (SEDI), eliminating the obligation to submit advance information on import operations. This measure, made official by Joint General Resolution 5651/2025, seeks to simplify customs processes and reduce administrative burdens for importers.
The SEDI was implemented with the aim of collecting detailed information on imports, but its elimination responds to the need to streamline foreign trade and optimize import logistics in Argentina.
Benefits for Importers and Foreign Trade Companies
With the elimination of the SEDI, companies operating in Argentine foreign trade will be able to benefit from several improvements in their processes:
- Greater efficiency in importing: Document management and processing times are reduced.
- Less administrative burden: The elimination of this requirement reduces bureaucracy for companies.
- Optimization of logistics costs: Streamlining procedures allows for better planning of the supply chain.
- Greater competitiveness: Importing companies will be able to operate with greater dynamism and adaptability to market demand.
Impact on Argentine Foreign Trade
The end of SEDI represents an important step in the modernization of the import regime in Argentina. This measure will facilitate a more flexible and efficient environment for foreign trade operators, aligning with international trends in digitization and customs debureaucratization.
