Argentine foreign trade policy

Argentine Foreign Trade Overview Foreign Trade Policy and Regulations 1. Basic Situation of Foreign Trade Argentina has long pursued import substitution policies and has a strong protectionism. Since 1989, when the Afghan government implemented new economic policies, it vigorously developed foreign trade, adopted a series of reform measures, lifted restrictions on imports, reduced tariffs on several occasions, and formulated policies to encourage exports. In the 1990s, Azerbaijan’s foreign trade grew rapidly. The total volume of foreign trade in 1990 was only 16.4 billion U.S. dollars, and in 1998 it was 57.6 billion U.S. dollars. Affected by the financial and financial crisis in Russia and Brazil, the Arab-Israeli economy came to a standstill from the beginning of the third quarter of 1998. After that, Azerbaijan’s economy declined for three consecutive years. In 2001, Azerbaijan imported a total of 46.4 billion U.S. dollars, of which imports were 20.3 billion U.S. dollars and exports were 26.2 billion U.S. dollars, with a surplus of 5.9 billion U.S. dollars A sharp drop in 2002 and a rebound in 2003. (Specific figures are as follows)

Argentina is a traditional agricultural and animal husbandry product exporter. Agricultural and animal husbandry products occupy an important position in exports, accounting for about 50% of total exports. Many products account for a large share of the world market. For example, Argentina exports soybean oil and sunflower oil in the world, honey accounts for second in the world, corn accounts for third in the world, and wheat and wine account for fifth in the world. For a long time, Azerbaijan has been committed to the development of national industries, efforts to change the export structure, and expand the export of industrial products. In recent years, certain results have been achieved. However, due to factors such as historical and natural conditions, agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery products still play a decisive role in Arab foreign trade.

A major export commodities include: cereals, beef, oil, fats, leather, fruits, dairy products, mineral products, chemical products, textile raw materials and finished products, general genus and finished products, transportation, etc. Industrial manufactured goods and high-tech products such as transport, audio, television and video equipment, chemical products, electromechanical products, and precision instruments. In 2001, imports of capital goods accounted for 37.3% of all imports; 36.1% of intermediate products; 19.7% of consumer goods; 2.6% of passenger cars; and 4.1% of fuel.

Argentina’s main trading partner is the member of the Yugoslav Communist League. In 1998, its total trade volume reached 17.2 billion U.S. dollars, of which trade with Brazil accounted for 1/4 of the total foreign trade volume. A major export market is: Brazil, the United States, Chile, Spain, Italy, China, Uruguay, and Paraguay; Azerbaijan’s imports mainly come from: Brazil, the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, France, Spain, Chile, Mexico, South Korea, United Kingdom.

2. Foreign Trade Management System The Argentine Ministry of Economic Production is the administrative agency for foreign trade, and its subsidiary State Secretariat for Industry, Trade and SMEs is responsible for formulating rules and regulations for foreign trade and supervising their implementation. Under the State Secretariat for Industry, Trade and SMEs, an undersecretary of State for Foreign Trade is set up specifically to deal with foreign trade affairs. The State Secretariat for Industry, Trade and Mines also has offices in the provinces. Argentina’s national customs is also an important agency responsible for implementing foreign trade regulations and policies.

Intergovernmental economic and trade negotiations are headed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specifically by the Department of International Economic Negotiations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its subsidiary organizations.

3. The main policy of foreign trade: Argentina is the main sponsor of the Common Market of the South, and joined the World Trade Organization as early as October 1967. The market in Argentina is quite open, and there are no special restrictions on the basic fields of foreign trade. Its trade policy is basically consistent with the relevant agreements of the aforementioned trade organizations.

The current foreign trade policy began in 1989. At the time, after President Menemh took power, he launched a new economic policy to break the ten-year economic downturn. In foreign trade, a series of drastic reform measures have been adopted. These policies mainly include:

First, the restriction on imports will be relaxed, non-tariff barriers will be phased out, and tariffs will be used as a protective measure. In 1986, the government implemented an import license system for 7,000 of the 1,1400 kinds of goods imported. In 1991, the import licensing system was abolished and all vehicles were open except for the import of automobiles. Second, all special tariffs are cancelled and tariff rates are generally lowered. The average tariff was gradually reduced from 40% in 86 years to 10% in 1991. In 1992, it was adjusted to 15%. The import duties on primary products, intermediate products and manufactured products were 5%, 13% and 22% respectively. More than 35% of cars and most electronic products. Since then, it has made several adjustments. In addition, the President also issued non-adjustment decrees to reduce government intervention in economic activities, abolished the control of production and trade by the National Grain Commission, the Meat Commission, etc., canceled control over the transportation and loading of goods, and reorganized customs to simplify the Export administrative procedures and import and export procedures. On the export side, all products except rawhides can be freely exported. In 1993, the President formulated new policies to liberate productivity and encourage the development of industry and agriculture, including the import of all capital goods that are exempt from import duties and import statistics taxes.

These measures of the government have effectively promoted foreign trade. In particular, the repeated reductions in tariffs have greatly stimulated imports, and as a result, the imports of Azerbaijan have increased substantially in 1991-94, and the trade deficit has increased. In order to maintain the balance between foreign trade and import and export, the Albanian government has formulated policies to encourage exports, such as export tax rebates and low interest rates for export enterprises. On the other hand, it imposes restrictions on the import of certain products, such as different types of paper. Quota restrictions have been imposed and special tariffs have been imposed on textiles and shoes.
