Border trade concerns rise over new Resolution 5910/26

Local communities are expressing alarm following the publication of Resolution 5910/26 regarding border neighborly trade. The new regulation establishes a USD 150 limit on transactions and imposes restrictions on the packaging and presentation of certain products.

Critics argue the measure ignores the economic reality of border cities like Clorinda, where the exchange of goods serves as a vital economic engine and social buffer. There are concerns that the cap will stifle retail and wholesale commerce, potentially reducing local employment and tax revenue. The regulation has been described as a restrictive measure that contradicts broader national policies aimed at increasing imports and reducing bureaucratic barriers for large-scale trade.
