Well I travel a lot and will give updates.
Thanks, Serafina. I never bring new clothes or electronics, etc., or anything that I feel would stick out like a sore thumb, when returning from the US. I most always bring books, household/kitchen items (wax paper, condiments, etc.), vitamins, DVDs - all essentially inconsequential items for personal use or consumption. Of course, the total of all this stuff is over US$300.00 total, but I've never had a problem at customs. With this recent directive, it makes me wonder if aduana will be taking a closer look. Hmmmm...
argentine customs or any customs? i've never once had any random' checks in any country, not in North America or Europe, nor here, but then I never came back here as a resident before...not really eager to fill AFIP declarations...In my experience, custom agents don't bother with electronic stuff that is over a year old.
Not sure what the fuss is about.
1) Don't most countries work like this? Don't they pass out a customs form on the plane where you have to indicate what you're bringing in over a certain limit, and if you are not candid you risk your stuff being confiscated? Don't most European countries have a green line (nothing to declare) and a red line, and if you use the green line and are stopped you might have problems?
2) I've been stopped in Ezeiza before and made to pay duties on some new clothing.
What is the fuss about? That the existing rules arebettermore strongly enforced?
I, for one, am more mad about the traffic cameras proliferating all over the city, point of which it clearly seems is more about revenue than safety.
Over 700 pesos for going 67 km/h in a 60 zone? Really?

Wax Paper ????? You can get that here. It's called "papel manteca". Any stationary store here should have it.
