Shopping online in stores from Spain and the rest of Europe from Argentina and getting the products delivered to your home is easier, faster and more predictable than ever. With Mi Dirección Europea you get a real address in Europe where you can buy from any European store —even if it doesn't ship to Argentina— and we reship it to your door.
In this guide, updated for 2026, we explain step by step how to shop in Europe from Argentina, how much you can import without hassle, and what taxes Argentine customs charge today.
How to shop in Spain and Europe from Argentina, step by step
- Sign up with Mi Dirección Europea. Create your account in under 2 minutes and get your European address.
- Get your shipping address in Europe. It's a real address (in Spain, Germany and other countries) that you'll use as the delivery destination in the stores.
- Buy from any European store you like. Fashion, electronics, spare parts, home, beauty... At checkout, enter your Mi Dirección Europea address as the delivery address.
- We receive and store your parcel. We notify you as soon as it arrives at our warehouse and you can see it in your dashboard.
- Consolidate if you want (optional). If you buy from several stores, we combine everything into a single shipment so you pay less for transport.
- We reship to your home in Argentina. You choose the shipping method, pay for the service and track the parcel to your door.
Customs and taxes when importing to Argentina in 2026
Since 2024 Argentina has simplified and lowered the cost of importing for personal use. These are the two regimes in force in 2026 for receiving purchases from abroad:
Courier regime (small shipments)
- Each shipment can be worth up to USD 3,000.
- The first USD 400 of each shipment are exempt from import duties and the statistics fee.
- You pay 21% VAT and a simplified 50% tariff only on the amount above USD 400.
- It can be used up to 5 times per year per person (CUIT/CUIL).
Door-to-door regime (Correo Argentino)
- The first 12 shipments of the year get a USD 50 allowance each.
- The cap per parcel is also USD 3,000.
- It's cheaper, but slower and more likely to face customs delays.
In addition, the PAIS tax stopped applying at the end of December 2024, and the lifting of the currency controls for individuals made shopping abroad simpler and with a more competitive exchange rate than in previous years. One important tip: always declare the real value of your purchases. Under-declaring is customs fraud and can cost you fines and the seizure of the parcel.
Carriers that deliver in Argentina
International shipments arrive through well-known operators:
- DHL, FedEx and UPS: private couriers, fast and with detailed end-to-end tracking.
- Correo Argentino: the state option for the door-to-door regime, cheaper and with wide coverage, though slower.
Why consolidating your purchases pays off
If you buy from several European stores, consolidation combines all your parcels into a single shipment. That way you pay for transport once instead of several times and simplify the process. It's a legal logistics advantage, not a way to avoid taxes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I shop in Spain from Argentina if the store does not ship to my country?
With Mi Dirección Europea you get a real address in Spain (and in other European countries). You buy from the Spanish store using that address as the destination, we receive the parcel and reship it to your home in Argentina. It works with any European store, even those that do not ship internationally.
How much can I import to Argentina duty-free in 2026?
Under the courier regime, the first USD 400 of each shipment are exempt from import duties and the statistics fee (you only pay 21% VAT), with a cap of USD 3,000 per shipment and up to 5 shipments per year. Under the Correo Argentino door-to-door regime, the first 12 shipments of the year get a USD 50 allowance each.
How much does Argentine customs charge on a purchase from abroad?
Within the USD 400 courier allowance you only pay 21% VAT. If the shipment exceeds USD 400, a simplified 50% tariff also applies to the excess. Import duties and the statistics fee are not charged up to that limit.
Is the PAIS tax still in force in 2026?
No. The PAIS tax stopped applying at the end of December 2024. Together with the lifting of currency controls for individuals, shopping abroad is now simpler and more predictable than in previous years.
Can I buy from any European store, not just from Spain?
Yes. You can buy from stores in Spain, Germany, Italy, France and the rest of Europe. Your Mi Dirección Europea address works as the destination in all of them, and we consolidate purchases from different stores into a single shipment to Argentina.
How long does the parcel take to arrive in Argentina?
It depends on the operator: private couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) are usually the fastest, while Correo Argentino (door-to-door) is cheaper but slower. From your dashboard you choose the method and track the shipment to your home.
