The updated US tariff scheme took effect on Friday with Argentina retaining the minimum 10 percent surcharge. More than 2,200 tariff positions will enter with zero duty.
The US Chamber of Commerce in Argentina (AmCham) noted that the country retains the most favorable tariff treatment under the new Section 301 regime.
The Trade Reciprocity Agreement (ARTI) begins full implementation, which will expand opportunities for Argentine exports according to the entity.
The Argentine government downplayed the impact and said the 10 percent tariff confirms the direction of bilateral negotiations with the Donald Trump administration. The Casa Rosada awaits full implementation of the understanding before sending it to Congress.
AmCham considered that maintaining the minimum surcharge and increasing zero-tariff positions strengthens reliable value chains between both countries.
