Since 2020 the import and sale of halogen lamps is prohibited

This Act amended the previous 26,473, which only prohibited the import and marketing of incandescent lamps for residential use.

The amendment also provides that the National Executive may issue the necessary measures to “facilitate the import, input components, parts and/or equipment necessary for the production of energy-saving lamps and LED technology”.

The norm specified that the Executive will promote this activity “reducing and releasing them from import taxes and taxes”.

“ Such measures may encourage the import of lamps of both technologies, when information from sectoral chambers shows the impossibility of local production,” said the amended article.
