Hello all and thank you in advance for your assistance.
I recently received a package sent to me from the US by my family. It contained a pair of sunglasses, cookies, macaroni and cheese, and a pair of pants. It was marked gift and sadly she was advised by the post office to place the value at 80 dollars. Also it was sent thru the US postal service.
Anyway, upon its arrival at my door I was told that I had to pay 300 pesos to receive my package. I explained to him that these were used things on top of the fact that the pants had been purchased here in argentina (I forgot a few things when I went home for christmas). He said that I can go to retiro to try to reclaim my money. The receipt is from "Direccion General de Aduanas - Encomiendas postales internacionales" with a fee listed at $76.50 dollars.
I have zero experience with this and don't actually even know where the building is that I need to go. All I know is wherever I have to go I will have to show up early and bring a book. Please anyone with experience, advice, and tips please let me know what I should expect so I can be the most prepared.
Thank you,
Michael
