Full Details
Posting perfume to Argentina is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Dirección General de Aduanas (AFIP) treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, 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.
Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Argentina — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.

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.
