Although I didn't have time in the end to buy iPhones for resale, my sense was that the Montevideo and Buenos Aires customs was a joke when departing/arriving via boat.

Thanks, starlucia, What online transfer options are you referring to? Is there a reason the online transfer options are particularly useful in Argentina or are you just saying in general? So glad I switched from Chase to Schwab a few months back.

Any update on this, starlucia? Are they still refunding ATM fees?

Napoleon, that will come in handy. Thanks. Can you elaborate on where that number comes from and why it differs from what I find on Google Finance? It seems that USD are in high demand in Argentina, and given the difficulty of buying USD through official channels I'm assuming that there is no...

Thank you for that link, igor. It appears that I'm in a good position since I have a high-yield Schwab checking account linked to an investing account. These accounts have unlimited ATM rebates worldwide. I will also be coming in through Uruguay and am told that ATMs there will distribute...

I guess I'm looking for some clarity on the customs process. Are they on the lookout for smuggled goods? How close attention is paid to this? If I'm caught, what is the best way to respond? Plead ignorance? Is there a fine or must I just pay tax on goods? How do I enable private messages? I...

Can anyone confirm this? GuilleGee what has your experience been?

I am flying to Montevideo and taking the Buquebus to Buenos Aires and intend to bring a couple iPhones along for resale. Has anyone done this? Am I more or less likely to get the iPhones through customs at the boat port rather than the airport?
