On 16 January 2026, the Bill on the Comprehensive Protection System for Consumer Rights (File 7089-D-2025) was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. The Bill aims to protect the rights of consumers and users who acquire goods or services through electronic commerce platforms or other digital intermediation means. It would apply to all digital platforms that facilitate, intermediate, administer, or are used for electronic commercial transactions directed at consumers located in the territory of the Argentine Republic, irrespective of the place of establishment of the platform or providers. The Bill would require platforms to verify and display provider identity, fiscal status, and legal domicile prior to publication, ensure that listings contain clear and truthful information on goods or services, and maintain electronic records of verified information. It would impose specific obligations for new and imported goods, including the collection and retention of documentation proving lawful importation, inclusion of complete customs clearance identifiers on invoices, and cooperation with the customs authority upon request. Platforms would be required to implement mechanisms for user reporting and removal of non-compliant listings. The Bill would establish joint and several liability between platforms and providers for contractual breaches, defective products, regulatory infringements, and unpaid import duties.
