This tool fIt facilitates the movement of beehives, since producers can issue the document or close the movements from the AFIP platform.
In order to use the self-management service, beekeepers must have an updated Renapa, have the apiaries registered with the stocks declared in each one of them and follow the steps detailed in the instructive.
In parallel, the DT-e can be processed further at the Senasa offices, reporting the Renapa number of origin and destination of the movement.
