What is PIT in the context of customs for household goods for extranjero temporario?

[toast]

The company that shipped my stuff from USA a year ago now claims I have to renew my PIT, whatever that is. The required deadline for my renewal is the one year anniversary when my caution policy( mandated by Argentine customs ) came into force. Any ideas? Thanks

Temporary Import Permit. Imports can be final or temporary and are subject to taxation depending on their final status (staying or leaving the country past the expiration of said permit). Most familiar case for us is competition cars, artists touring equipment, international fairs goods or demo products.
