The framework agreement seeks to advance the modernisation and automation of processes in bilateral trade and passenger transit between the two countries, while furthering the digitisation of procedures launched under the current administration.

Argentina’s tax and customs agency (ARCA) has signed a cooperation agreement with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on 26 November 2025.

The framework agreement aims to continue modernising and automating processes in bilateral trade and passenger transit between the two countries and to further the digitisation of procedures initiated during the current administration.

Strengthening coordination between Argentine and United States Customs will enhance the ability to identify threats, combat transnational crime, and comply with international standards set by the World Customs Organisation (WCO) through more intelligent, risk-segmented controls.

In this sense, this cooperation agreement will strengthen border security while also boosting legitimate trade between the two nations, reducing logistics times, and thereby improving the competitiveness of the private sector.

The framework agreement was signed in Washington, D.C.

This new milestone in cooperation between ARCA and CBP marks a step toward a 100% digital Customs, without paperwork or in-person procedures, and toward improved experiences for citizens and operators.
