New digital Mercado Comun del Sur (MERCOSUR) certificates of origin will take effect May 1 in Argentina, according to an alert from Expeditors. Use of digital certificates had been set to take effect in November 2018, but was subsequently delayed twice, until March 1, then until May 1. The Argentine Ministry of Economy said the digital certificates “will have the same legal validity and identical value as those issued on paper,” and must be electronically signed according to parameters established by the Latin American Integration Association. The Ministry also said that “entities authorized to the exporter must” keep records of all certificates of origin, the certification number, the applicant and the date of issue. The notice said paper certificates may still be used for “certain occasions in which digital certification is not possible in order not to delay or hinder foreign trade operations.”
