That through Decision No. 1 dated April 7, 2001 of the Common Market Council, the States Parties to the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) authorized the ARGENTINE REPUBLIC to apply, on an exceptional and temporary basis, until the 31st of December 2002, to imports originating from countries not members of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), the aliquots of import duties specified in Res.ME 8/01 dated March 23, 2001 and Res.ME 27 / 01 dated April 6, 2001, both from the former MINISTRY OF ECONOMY.

That the universe referred to in the preceding recital was successively modified by different community regulations, including those that included the various amendments to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System.

That Dec.1026 / 12 dated July 2, 2012 reestablished as of January 1, 2013 the aliquots under the Foreign Import Right (DIE) to their equivalent of the Common External Tariff (AEC) to certain goods of capital contemplated in Annexes I and IV of Dec. 100/12 dated January 12, 2012.

That, also, through Article 2 of Decision No. 35 dated December 16, 2014 of the Common Market Council, the States Parties were authorized, on an exceptional and temporary basis, to maintain between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015 the national import regimes for capital goods.

That, in that order, Dec. 900/15 dated May 20, 2015 modified the aliquots that, as a Foreign Import Right (DIE), were taxed until June 30, 2015, certain capital goods facilitating the access to them.

That, also, the aforementioned decree established the aliquots that in the concept of Foreign Import Law (DIE) pay a universe of capital goods that, due to its technological gradient and the size of the local market, or the demand of certain sectors demanding new Technologies cannot be provided by the national industry, thus facilitating access to them.

That by Dec. 1126/17 dated December 29, 2017 and its amendments, the MERCOSUR Common Nomenclature (NCM) was approved, adjusted to the VI Amendment of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, with its corresponding External Tariff Common (AEC).

That, in addition, by article 3 of Dec. 1126/17 and its amendments, the aliquots were set as Foreign Import Law (DIE) for the tariff positions of the Common Nomenclature of MERCOSUR (NCM) that make up the list Capital Goods (BK), detailed in Annex III of said decree.

That the easy access and at competitive prices of the merchandise considered at the regional level as "Capital Goods (BK)", results in the incorporation of the latest technologies in various national productive sectors.

That the aforementioned List of Capital Goods (BK) is an essential instrument of foreign trade, fulfilling a fundamental role in industrial development and the growth of economic activity.

That it is necessary to update the universe of goods reached by the list in question, in order to harmonize the exercise of the powers granted at the community level, with the other policies faced by the National Government, at the economic and productive level.

That, likewise, it is convenient to expressly clarify the tariff treatment applicable to the importation of goods that, by application of the update established in this measure, are excluded from the special regime provided in Annex III of Dec. 1126/17 and its amendments.
