In addition, we remind you some things to keep in mind in order to complete
and submit the Baggage Declaration Form when entering the country:
-
Read the instructions on the back previously, where the list of goods considered as tax-exempt baggage is detailed.
-
If any goods you bring are not listed, they must be declared as goods subject to tax payment.
-
For calculating the appropriate taxes, you should go to the Customs Valuation Office, where the customs authority gives you a tax settlement, and then you should go to the National Bank (Banco de la Nación) for payment.
-
If you carry cash and/or financial instruments exceeding US$ 10,000 or its equivalent in another currency, you must declare them in the Baggage Declaration Form and ask the customs authority for the Money and/or Financial Negotiable Instruments Declaration Form to provide relevant information. Failure to do so will be subject to appropriate legal action.
It is also prohibited to enter or leave the country carrying negotiable financial instruments "issued to bearer" or cash for amounts over US$ 30,000 or its equivalent in national or foreign currency. The entry or exit of such amounts must be made through companies authorized by the Superintendency of Banking and Insurance. Failure to do so shall result in temporary withholding of the amount declared in excess of US$ 30,000. In case of negotiable financial instruments "issued to bearer" whose value exceeds such amount and whose total declaration was made, withholding of such instruments shall be made in case that by their nature they cannot be divided or split.
- If goods you bring as baggage are not subject to tax payment, you shall submit the Baggage Declaration Form to the corresponding customs control area.
