Argentina will gradually eliminate export taxes on several industrial sectors over the next 12 months starting in July 2026, according to the economy ministry.

Export duties on automotive, petrochemical, chemical, rubber and machinery products—currently set at 4.5%—will be reduced by 0.375 percentage points each month until they reach zero. The phased approach is designed to ease the transition for exporters while gradually removing the tax burden.

Economy Minister Luis Caputo also announced parallel, gradual reductions in export taxes on major agricultural products, though detailed rates were not specified.
