Items availability & Customs

12 years ago
We are planning to come to Uruguay in either January or February. I've done some research and am still unclear about locating items and bringing in some items through Customs. I seem to find some conflicting information.

1. Will it be a problem bringing in food type items, such as canned items that cannot be purchaesed there? I have read that (s) items can be brought in and(2) friends can mail us certain things (3_ people shop regularly in Buenos Aires. However, my question has to do with whether or not we will then be taxed by Customs. Can someone clarify?

2. I love to bake bread and use many different types of flour. Will I be able to find a good variety or flours and grains?

3. Re finding a good pphysician, as well as specialists--where would be a good place to start?

We plan to be there for two weeks when we arrive.
