Once this acquisition has been made, an email must be sent to simel@ambiente.gob.ar, along with the electronic payment slip (VEP) or payment receipt generated through the e-recauda platform and proof of payment from the chosen electronic means. Once the corresponding accreditation has been made, the manifests may be used.
