# Federal Revenue strike keeps Argentine wheat stuck in the Port of Santos - DatamarNews

> About 38,000 tonnes of Argentine wheat are held at the Port of Santos awaiting Federal Revenue clearance, a process that normally takes 3 to 5 days. Importing mills pay roughly US$35,000 to 40,000 per day in ship demurrage while silos stay full.
