Full Details
Posting cosmetics to Argentina in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Dirección General de Aduanas (AFIP) applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 21% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Courier imports up to USD 50 enter duty-free; above that the 50% simplified courier tax (Resolución General 3915) applies up to USD 3,000 per shipment. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.
Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.

Correo Argentino and OCA (Organización Coordinadora Argentina) handle international mail clearance under AFIP-Aduana supervision at the Retiro Postal Terminal and Ezeiza Air Cargo Terminal. The courier-service simplified taxation (Régimen de Courier) applies in lieu of formal entry for parcels up to USD 3,000 per shipment per person per year, with a USD 50,000 per-year personal cap. Personal-use parcels under USD 50 within the annual three-shipment franchise (the USD 50 each, three times per year exemption) clear duty-free. Above the franchise: 50% flat duty / VAT. Imports of certain HS codes (electronics, luxury goods, used clothing) require SIRA (Sistema Integral de Monitoreo de Importaciones) authorisation.
