The shipment that entered the country this morning arrived from Mexico, according to Customs sources told this medium. This is an announced import. The company SC Johnson had anticipated days ago that, given the local shortages, it would import products from that country and from Poland.
The import seeks to respond to the demand for repellents in the midst of a historic dengue outbreak that has already caused at least 161 deaths and more than 230,000 infections throughout the country. A similar shipment is expected to arrive in the coming days.
This first shipment is a donation that will be distributed through civil associations in vulnerable areas of the country. There are 22,320 units of mosquito repellents from the “Off Family” trademark of SC Johnson and their marketing is prohibited . According to company sources, there will be more donations in the near future.
A commercial shipment, that is, it will be destined for supermarket shelves, will arrive in the coming days from Poland, sources said.

“With the aim of maximizing production even more, in an exceptional way we are importing inputs by air, managing to more quickly bring those assets used for the manufacturing of OFF!, Fuyi and Raid . Furthermore, in a measure that requires enormous efforts, and to provide repellents to Argentines, we are importing products from Poland, among other markets, which will be arriving soon," the company had notified in a statement .
Today the 30-day period established by the Government begins to take effect in which customs controls will be relaxed to allow the importation of repellents and supplies for the production of repellents.
On April 4, the Government decided to suspend for 30 days the intervention of the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (Anmat) in the importation of mosquito repellents . The measure will apply to aerosol, cream, spray and gel.
Likewise, as reported to Infobae, Anmat decided to exempt – for a period of 30 days – its necessary intervention to import the following products:
- Insect repellent spray.
- Insect repellent cream.
- Insect repellent spray.
- Insect repellent gel.
In addition, they indicated to Infobae that “the importation of repellents and their supplies was simplified from the beginning of this management with multiple measures. In addition to the elimination of the SIRA, the Non-Automatic Licenses and the CEF, which covered all imports, a reduction in the payment term was established for these products (from the 4-installment scheme to 30, 60, 90 and 120 days) to a single installment after 30 days.”
“ In turn, for the finished repellents, the suspension of the collection of additional VAT (20%) and the withholding of income tax (6% ) was ordered,” they added.
