The Fam And I To Ba From Usa. What To Bring?

[CaliCoco]

Hello All,
My Wife, Infant Twin Sons and I are moving to BA from the US and are shipping a container. Does any body have any recommendations on what to bring and what not to? Any must haves?

Hope you are a returning Argie or married to one or your company is paying the import taxes. If so then think big. Lets start with a Flat Screen TV and the sound system that goes with it, A Super nice refrigerator, GAS Dryer, [new] and a nice new washing machine. Do not let people tell you they won't work because they will. And I did.
Now add in all the electronics you can.
A nice lawn mower if you plan to buy a house. Towels and linens. etc
OK everyone else will fill in the blanks.

Enough clothes to last you until the next time you go back to the US.

I didn't and am now forced to buy jeans and socks in Argentina.

Thanks guys!!! Yes, My wife is an Argie so I lucked out on the fees. I have a washer, gas dryer and fridge but I was under the impression I couldn't bring them. I can? Do I need transformers?

Checkout Mercadolibre for prices on new items, 90% of what you buy here is Chinese junk though http://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/
Anything for the kids is better to buy in the US.

What about small kitchen appliances. Blenders, juicers, etc. I know I will need transformers but would it be worth it?

But off course, if you have all your system in the 120V then you will need the beefy heavy duty ones that converts it to the next level the 240V.Also many Belkin with auto shut-off built in with best surge protectors with least 12 plug in built in extension cords.http://www.belkin.com/us/Products/Power/c/WSPWRSP http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=heavy+duty+voltage+converter&tag=googhydr-20&index=electronics&hvadid=8121864099&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14421698372022862842&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_46g0yunuh0_b

I wouldn't bother buying new appliances, just bring what you already have
