I would like to ask the forum for some advice: I need to import some car parts (one of the brakes on my car underwent rapid unscheduled disassembly recently), and the parts are difficult to source here.
Quotes here range from USD 1600 to 2000 to have the parts brought in. I’ve sourced them in Ireland (the parts are brought in from the UK which I guess is the nearest convenient distribution centre) and would cost about USD 1200, plus shipping of course. It seems like it would be considerably faster than dealing with a local importer or the Volvo dealership who estimate 30-45 days.
My reading on the interwebs:
www.argentina.gob.ar
tn.com.ar
Leads me to believe that there is little or no tax payable for importing these parts as a private person.
My question is, would anyone here have experience doing anything similar? Any recommendations based on recent experience? Thank you in advance!

Ahora se incluyen en el régimen de “Pequeños Envíos” para compras online en el exterior.
