At Eze airport a Custom employee tried to ask me to pay him a bribe

Crazy story. I started going from Lima to Salta in recent years so have avoided EZE customs. Salta airport is basically two gates and there are no real customs to speak of (one xray machine that rarely works and a half-asleep Aduanas person siting in a chair near it). However, for this year's holiday trip we are going through EZE because the scheduling was more efficient.

Does anyone else have any EZE reports recently? I read something a while ago about their attempting to limit visitors to only one electronic device per person -- did that ever happen and/or is it actually being followed?

I only read about some airlines limiting the amount of electronics you carry on the flight but they allowed several devices.
May be you refer to the allowance you have upon arrival without having to pay import taxes and that should be specified on the ARCA web site

These are the allowances as we saw them on the border with Paraguay in September this year:



as @Frinkiac8 says, electronic devices are restricted to one of each type. I have never traveled with only one of anything and never been pulled up over it. You could declare your devices on leaving the country, if it brings peace of mind. I also vaguely remember that the one-device limitation was to be derogated, but it would seem nothing has happened :

Ezeiza is quite pleasant these days, we last passed through there almost a year ago. The "one terminal" concept is a bit strange, but it was clean, spacious, comfortable, clearly signposted... and expensive like the rest of Argentina. The duty free shop on returning to Argentina could be interesting.

I've always made it through with an old MacBook (2017), and two cell phones (also, very old). This year I'm adding a (new to me, but still used) iPad. Hoping I don't get grief. How do they assess value on older items like that to charge customs fees?

I’ve made it in and out with two MacBooks, two iPhones and an iPad several times. Some in my suitcase, some in my shoulder bag.

Customs is mainly interested in the brand new and latest model devices. The older ones don’t seem to count

Seems there has just been a purge of management at Customs in Ezeiza Airport.
