Argentina: Customs Fines for Undeclared Waste Lube Oils
North’s Argentinian P&I correspondent, Pandi Liquidadores S.R.L, has advised that customs fines are being imposed on vessels for not declaring quantities of used lube oils.
The Argentinian customs code typically requires submission of information regarding fuel, spares, utensils, tools, food and all crew consumables.
However, while there is no specific requirement to declare used lube oils under Argentine law, it is recommended that Members should declare all such oils in order to avoid potential problems with the Argentine customs officials.
