The measure responds to the State's modernization policy and the Framework of Standards for Securing and Facilitating Trade (SAFE), developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO)., which provides among its instruments, the promotion of mutual cooperation between customs and postal operators, according to the recital of the regulation.
"The increase in electronic commerce and postal traffic requires the Federal Administration of Public Revenue to intelligently facilitate customs clearance procedures for international shipments, without prejudice to carrying out the risk analysis and control tasks that are its own," the text says.
In this regard, the Committee will address political, technical and operational issues related to the customs clearance of international postal shipments, according to the resolution signed by the Minister of Modernization, Andrés Horacio Ibarra, and the Federal Administrator of Public Revenues, Leandro German Cuccioli.
