Hello everyone,
I am in Argentina on a Rentista Visa (Temporary Residence). I have shipped all of my household goods via freighter and the container is currently in the port of BsAs. My problem is this: I entered the country on March 5th, so technically I had until the 5th of September to bring in my items but my container didn't arrive until the 15th of October and now customs is saying that they want $3000 USD in order to "look the other way and let my things through". The problem is I have already spent $8000.00 to get the stuff here. I understand that there are extensions available to get things in past the 6 months, but my Aduana does not know where to get this extension. Can anyone here please offer me some direction on where to get this extension? I cannot afford their $3000.00USD regla at this point and really need to get my stuff ASAP as the port is charging me $50 USD for each day that the container sits there. Thanks for any light you can shed on this situation.
