Question
I am interested in exporting my car to Argentina as they are quite expensive there and it works out well  to take my own. Do you have any info on the subject?

Many thanks

Steve

Answer
Hi Steve,
Will you be moving to Argentina with a visa? If so what type. It is possible but difficult to import your car, but the biggest barrier is the import tax which is running some 70% of the cars value...IN ARGENTINA. Cars here are very expensive because of the high import duties imposed by the government.

We chose not to bring our Honda CRV as they would have taxed a  used 2003 CRV at approx 45,000 dollars, much more than its actual value.

I would like to know more about your situation and what brings you to argentina to help assist you further.

Regards,
Laura
