# Argentina simplifies fertilizer import regulations for certified products from highly surveilled countries

Publication Date: 21.02.2025, 18:00

This update aims to ensure the quality of fertilizers, streamline regulatory processes, and facilitate the import of certified products from Australia, the European Union, and the U.S.

The Argentine government has issued a decree that governs the control of the production, import, export, possession, fractionation, distribution, and sale of fertilizers and amendments within the country.

Published on February 17, 2025, the revised standard aims to ensure the quality of fertilizers for the benefit of users, streamline the registration of operators, and remove expiration dates for products. It notably facilitates the import of certified products from countries under high surveillance, including Australia, the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the European Union, and Israel, to avoid procedural redundancies and foster greater commercial integration, as highlighted by the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries, which is responsible for enforcing the updated law.

On security aspects, the Secretariat has introduced a more streamlined process, stating that “a prior notification will now be sufficient for the transport of large volumes of fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate,” a critical measure aimed at minimizing the risks associated with handling such materials. This simplification represents a significant change from previous regulations, which required prior authorization from the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA), with approvals taking up to 15 days.

The regulation change is part of the broader State Modernization Plan, which promotes the digitalization and simplification of administrative procedures. It also establishes the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries as the enforcement agency that coordinates agricultural production, quality, and health policies and oversees SENASA.
