Hey gang
I'm making the move down with my wife and child soon. My wife is an Argentinian citizen who just got a position in the UVA physics department.
We've been doing some research about bringing our belongings with us and apparently we're allowed to bring all our stuff (including washing machine, dishwasher, etc...) without paying import taxes but we've read that things like my woodworking tools are prohibited - that they can't be "de taller / industria".
We've been told that hand tools, even electric ones are ok but we're wondering about larger tools like a portable table saw, chop saw or planer?
We planned on remodeling the apartment her grandmother left to her upon arrival and would need these tools to do so.
Not sure how complicated this is or if there's any way to explain to customs that these aren't for commercial purposes?
Attached are a couple pics of the tools I wanted to bring. (Table Saw and Planer) I can post more images if that's helpful too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
