Thanks for sharing this. It sounds horrific. Yet another reason to avoid pork.

I know someone who brought in around US$40-50k in cash and they simply declared it on arrival at Ezeiza. They had the papers to show how they had acquired that money - it was from the sale of a property overseas - and aduanas hardly asked anything and waived them through. This was about seven...

If it doesn't work out with Duque, a friend of mine and I can help out 'de onda'. (Two females)

Uf, well that's disappointing. Thanks for the heads up! (The chocolates were what I was most wanting, 😥)

What would be the reasoning/justification for that, do you think?

I just asked this on another similar thread, but if someone is sending something to me via post (from Australia) with a value of around US$100 (mostly chocolate and underwear and a couple of other gifts along those lines), is that something which is likely to get stuck at customs or require...

My folks want to send me a care package (NOT via courier but by regular post) which will just be some basic things like underwear and chocolate, and vegemite, with the total value being less than US$200, and probably less than US$100. Any idea as to whether that kind of thing would get stuck at...

It was some years ago now, but when I traveled to Uruguay and I only presented my DNI, and there were no questions asked about a passport. Also, one time I arrived into Argentina from overseas and only presented my (permanent resident) DNI. Again, no questions asked. However, I am one of those...

Hope you don't mind me digging up an old thread. I saw in earlier exchanges talk related to Mercosur visas, although I am a bit of a thick-head and was hoping that someone (who knows, ideally!) might be able to explain if people with permanent residence status here in Argentina, are eligible for...

We make our own marmalade using those bitter oranges you find on the trees on the side of the road! It turns out fantastic. I use the following recipe but substitute the lemons and limes for oranges. It's worked well for me, anyway. Enjoy...

I appreciate your help but, for me, that is way too much economic analysis for a jar of Vegemite! LOL! Whatever the extra costs are for, and whether or not it is 'fair' to all those in the supply chain, is largely irrelevant to the basic decision of what I am going to choose to spend my money on. :)

Half a jar... in my cupboard. (Imported directly via my parents, so I couldn't tell you where to get it here, sorry.) I'll let you know if I find some somewhere. There is a place in Liniers that is all imported goods, although he has never had vegemite. I'm sure he could get it if you ask...

Obviously I wasn't there but it's a possibility that you misunderstood the other people at the counter. I've been in many similar situations and those people smirking are usually on *MY* side and having a laugh at the obnoxious person! That is one good thing about the Argentine way of not...

Similar for me. (although they weren't quite so low a mere week ago). Bought in Liniers.

I just wanted to chime in that I had implants done by Ramiro Rannalli (or at least, that clinic), and couldn't have felt better treated. This was 2-3 years ago now. Unfortunately I can't tell you the price as I was the patient of a 'student' doing a course there (so the actual implant...

You mentioned in a post about dollars (somewhere on the forum!) about knowing where to go when you need to change dollars to pesos. Well, in this present horrible moment, please do let me know if you are in need of pesos, which I will happily sell you for dollars! PM me if you like! Thanks.

A friend brought two laptops with him in November last year, one of them being brand new, and nobody asked him anything. He declared what he needed to declare but nobody even asked about it. That's about all I know about it. Hey, btw if you want to buy pesos at a decent rate when you land, PM me!

Not sure if you still wanted pesos, but if so, I'm willing to sell!

fruit juice (maybe one day it will cease to confuse me that an exprimido de naranja is considered something luxe here) baked beans (or are they available somewhere? Even 9 pence Tesco baked beans would make my mornings!)

Have you tried talking to the people inside the registry in Tigre? They may be able to help you, either by giving you a turno, or helping you make an appointment. I was able to get mine in the same manner as Steve (although I had to get up before the crack of dawn to join the queue if I was...
