General Motors reaches deal with Argentine port operator to import cars

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A unit of General Motors Co (N:GM) has reached a deal with port operator Terminal Puerto Rosario to import cars to Argentina, moving the U.S. automaker a step closer to exporting from its nearby plant, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

General Motors Mercosur, which includes GM's Argentina and Brazil units, said the first automobiles, manufactured in South Korea, arrived this week.

The company has a production plant near the Rosario port complex and said its long-term goal would be to export cars produced there through the port.
