The government repealed the statistical import system (SEDI)

The measure was confirmed with the publication in the Official Gazette of the General Resolution 5651/2025 of the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA), and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

However, hours before, had been announced by Luis Caputo In a post in the social network X. “After this repeal, facilitation policies will continue to be implemented, with the objective that commercial exchanges are carried out in a simple, transparent, efficient and predictable way, guaranteeing the conditions for their competence,” The minister said Monday.

According to Caputo in that same publication, the SEDI “met the objectives to normalize, transparent, order and expedite the import system ”.

In that sense, he expanded: “The SEDI had the main objective of obtaining early information on import operations and contemplated the analysis and monitoring of statistical data on import imports.”

“In that sense, it was determined that It is no longer necessary to gather early information for statistical purposes”, Argued the minister, who congratulated the Secretary of Production Coordination, Pablo Lavigne, and the head of Arca, Juan Pazos, for developing the measure.

Caputo said, in parallel, that “after this repeal, facilitation policies will continue to be implemented, with the objective that commercial exchanges are carried out in a simple, transparent, efficient and predictable way, guaranteeing the conditions for their competence.”

It is that, precisely, what ratifies the document published in the Official Gazette, where it is also expressed that, “oblivious to all discretion,” the government seeks guarantee “international rules established by the World Trade Organization (WTO) ”.

In that sense, he argues that “within the principles of the WTO It should not be a necessary condition to make an import statement, but this must be guaranteed at the time of its use and/or marketing, through the stipulated controls for this purpose by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, within the framework of its Competencies

In this context, in addition to the repeal of the system, it was established that “the statements registered through the SEDI, in accordance with the joint resolution No. 5.466 of December 22, 2023 and its amendment of the former Federal Administration of Public Revenue and the Former Ministry of Commerce of the Ministry of Economy, they will be without effect at the date of entry into force of this ”.
