Argentina laws and customs

7 years ago

Hello. I am leaving and returning to Argentina for the usa and back here. I have been trying to find out things before I leave to help me get my stuff from the us to here. The transferring of money is a major concern. Just today I found it is hard and even costly to have a bank account here. It seems the banks charge you money to have it in their bank no matter the amount. So I am thinking of keeping it in a us bank and transferring or wiring it a bit at a time when I need it. I have been told you can use a debit card from the us and withdraw money here paying a fee for your transaction. Does anyone know about that. I have decided to sell my auto in the us and buy one here. Anyone got any ideas about purchasing autos in Argentina and getting the insurance to drive that car.? I have a lot of household goods that cannot be bought here, and if I could find replacements the year I have been here tells me buying them over would be much more costly than when I initially acquired them. anyone had any knowledge of horror stories of having anything sent here from another country and it getting stuck at customs or whatever warehouse it might be stuck and having to spend major money to get it out? Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.
