three small sunglasses clip-ons. I'm more than happy to pay for the 50% import cost, it's just a matter of how that's handled. is it paid for in advance when the shipper sends via DHL? Is it sent as a bill to the person whose CUIL is declared on the shipment? Do i have to pay it before the goods are released from customs?
I sent our wedding rings from the US here via DHL (to my husband, as I wasn't a legal resident yet) and a letter came to our apartment to pay the taxes online (to DHL) and go in person to get the rings at the DHL store near our place. We were charged around 50% of the value of the goods, and had to pay before DHL would deliver/release to us (they handled things with Aduana/AFIP) but with all things AFIP/Aduana your mileage may vary. Good luck!
