Import Authorization

Workflow steps

1. Import Intent
   ANMAT import authorization is required for all medicinal cannabis imports into Argentina. No Argentina-EU GMP MRA exists — EU-GMP is required for EU-origin imports. Per-shipment authorization required.
   • ANMAT import authorization (per shipment)
   • EU-GMP certificate for EU-origin imports
   • Product specifications and documentation
2. ANMAT Import Authorization — Per-shipment authorization
   ANMAT issues per-shipment import authorization for approved cannabis products. Each shipment requires a separate authorization.
   • ANMAT import authorization application
   • Product registration or named-patient justification
   • GMP certificate from manufacturing country
   • EU-GMP required for EU-origin imports (no MRA)
   • Per-shipment — each import requires separate authorization
3. Authorization granted?
   ANMAT reviews application. May request additional documentation or product information.
4. Argentine Customs Entry
   Argentine customs clearance (Aduana) with ANMAT import authorization. ANMAT and Aduana both involved in clearance.
   • ANMAT import authorization (original)
   • Commercial invoice and shipping documents
   • GMP certificate
   • Product COA per batch
5. Import Cleared ✓
   Cannabis product cleared for entry into Argentina. Distributed to licensed pharmacies or healthcare facilities.
