About Argentina

Located in southern South America, Argentina is a Spanish-speaking nation. The country is well known for its extensive agricultural production, food processing, and diverse manufacturing base.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal for adults aged 18 and sold through a private retail system, while imports require registration with ARCA. Imports incur a 20% import duty, a 3% Statistical Tax, 21% IVA, and nominal excise taxes between 20% and 26%. Domestic producers make spirits including gin, whisky, vodka, liqueurs, and vermouth. The removal of licensing bottlenecks and simplified import procedures offer growing opportunities for foreign suppliers of Scotch, Irish whiskey, and premium spirits.
