That was my understanding, it fits what happened when I wasn't able to receive a parcel 2-3 years back.Thank you all for your comments. An update: yesterday the rep suggested that any CUIT/CUIL would suffice, but today they insisted that it must match the name of the recipient. So borrowing someone's is not an option, for DHL at least. It also took a stern talking-to to convince them to return the package to the sender instead of telling Customs to mark it as "abandoned". Never underestimate customer service in this country.
You need a CUIT, not just the basic one either, but some level of CUIT that allows you to import goods, A CUIL isn't sufficient. A bill will be issued by customs to the person importing the package, and only that person with the corresponding CUIT can pay it. Also, it's not like there's a minimum declared value which will be checked and taxed, there's a major occupational therapy program in customs that requires every single package to be opened and examined. The only things I've successfully had delivered from outside are documents.
DHL was probably trying to screw with you, my parcel was returned to the sender without any further action on my part. DHL will probably charge you (or, more likely, the sender) for the time your laptop spent in their warehouse.
