Argentina has developed a comprehensive non-automatic licensing regime that covers a broad spectrum of imports. Non-automatic licences must be obtained before covered products can be imported into the country and there are reports that licences can take more than two months to be issued.

Argentinean authorities recently expanded the scope of the textile and apparel products subject to non-automatic licensing, adding the following items to the list effective from 15 November: 5106.10.00, 5106.20.00, 5112.11.00, 5112.19.10, 5205.31.00, 5205.32.00, 5205.41.00, 5206.24.00, 5206.32.00, 5208.32.00, 5208.33.00, 5208.41.00, 5208.42.00, 5208.43.00, 5208.49.00, 5208.52.00, 5209.41.00, 5209.43.00, 5210.11.00, 5210.19.10, 5210.19.90, 5407.73.00, 5407.83.00, 5509.21.00, 5509.32.00, 5510.11.00, 5510.30.00, 5515.13.00, 6006.34.00, 6006.41.00, 6115.99.00, 6116.91.00, 6116.92.00, 6116.99.00, 6117.10.00 (only scarves and similar articles), 6214.10.00 (only scarves and similar articles), 6214.20.00 (only scarves and similar articles), 6214.30.00 (only scarves and similar articles), 6214.40.00 (only scarves and similar articles), 6214.90.10 (only scarves and similar articles) and 6505.90.00 (only ornamented hats, without a visor).
