The National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (Senasa) of Argentina approved a new procedure for authorizing export destinations for products and by-products of animal origin.
The measure, formalized through Resolution 593/2026, replaces a regime in effect since 2010 with the aim of simplifying procedures, unifying criteria, and adapting the system to the current demands of international markets.
According to the agency, the new regulation establishes a single procedure for establishments to obtain export authorization, incorporating digital processes, homogeneous evaluation criteria, and clear rules for inclusion and permanence in the lists of authorized plants.
Furthermore, it stipulates that authorizations will no longer need to be renewed periodically but will remain valid as long as the establishments maintain the hygienic-sanitary and documentary conditions required by each importing country or bloc.
Argentina's Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, highlighted that the measure eliminates a bureaucratic burden that hindered export activity.
"Senasa's Resolution 593/26 eliminates the unusual requirement to renew authorizations for exporting products to each destination. From now on, these authorizations will not need to be renewed as long as there is continuity in the activity. One less obstacle. One more step towards freedom," he stated.
The resolution also eliminates administrative burdens for plants that already have export authorization, as they will not have to resubmit applications to maintain their authorizations if they continue to comply with sanitary requirements. At the same time, it strengthens control mechanisms by empowering Senasa to immediately suspend authorizations when non-compliance with the requirements established by destination countries is detected.
With this update, the Government – Senasa emphasized – seeks to streamline processes related to foreign trade without modifying food safety and sanitary quality standards.
The measure consolidates the criteria for authorizing export destinations into a single regulatory framework, supports the modernization of Senasa's management systems, and provides greater predictability to establishments that market products of animal origin in international markets, the entity noted.
