 |
 |
|
All exporters to Argentina need to be aware that beginning on February 1, 2012, all individuals or companies who plan to import merchandise into Argentina must fill out a Sworn Affidavit of Intention to Import (DJAI) with the Argentine Revenue and Customs Authority (AFIP) prior to completing a purchase order for the goods to be imported. Most companies and individuals who import goods utilize the services of an Argentine Customs Broker and should have their customs broker make file the DJAI through the online Custom's system known as MARIA. In the case of importers who do not utilize a Customs Broker, they already access to the MARIA system and will file their own DJAIs.

KSMQ Public Television, which serves southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, featured exporting on its show "The Heart of the Matter." This episode, "How Does Our Region Fit Into the Global Economy?" discusses these issues, local MN companies and the effect of exporting on our economy. You can view the show on YouTube here. |

By 2050 the combined economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China could eclipse the combined economies of today's richest countries. At APBO, U.S. companies can learn first-hand about these important markets in their business strategies. There are clear opportunities for U.S. exporters seeking new sales opportunities and markets in the Asia/Pacific region- and beyond.
APBO also provides the rare opportunity for exporters and trade industry leaders to meet seventeen U.S. Senior Commercial Officers (SCOs) from the Asia/Pacific region, plus Brazil, India, Mexico and Russia at one venue. They will present country outlooks, speak in small workshops, meet with companies in private, one-on-one consultations, advise on current challenges and opportunities, and identify new business to increase international sales.
