# Argentina e-commerce and international import growth > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/argentina-e-commerce-and-international-import-growth > Updated: 2026-08-26T16:02:37.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Argentina is experiencing significant growth in its e-commerce sector, marked by both a rise in domestic digital sales and a surge in international door-to-door imports. International shipments through platforms like Amazon, Shein, and Temu have increased substantially. In July 2026, these small shipments totaled US$108 million, a 15.5% year-on-year increase. From January to July, the cumulative value reached US$751 million, an 83.9% jump compared to the previous year. This trend is attributed to regulatory changes implemented by the Javier Milei administration in late 2024, which raised the limit for occasional shipments to US$3,000 and provided tariff exemptions for personal imports up to US$400. While consumers benefit from better prices and variety, local industry leaders have expressed concern regarding threats to the domestic textile sector. Broadly, e-commerce has reached a structural milestone in the country, now accounting for an average of 28% of total company sales, up from 25% in 2025. During the first half of 2026, total billing reached over 19.5 trillion pesos. While Mercado Libre remains the preferred platform, international shopping is becoming more prevalent, with 60% of Argentines having made an overseas online purchase. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Argentina e-commerce reaches 28% of total sales E-commerce in Argentina now represents 28% of total company sales, rising from 25% in 2025, according to the CACE-KANTAR report. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/argentina-e-commerce-reaches-28-of-total-sales ### 2026-08-25: Argentina sees surge in door-to-door international e-commerce imports Argentina's door-to-door international e-commerce imports have surged 83.9% year-to-date, driven by new regulatory limits and platforms like Amazon and Shein, threatening local textile industries. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/argentina-sees-surge-in-door-to-door-international-e-commerce-imports --- Cite as: Argentina e-commerce and international import growth.
