Will I be allowed to bring 3 iPhones to Argentina (Buenos Aires) from the US?
I am traveling to Buenos Aires next month (from the US) and I wanted to bring an iphone as a gift for my sister and her husband who currently live there. I will also have my own iphone bringing it to a total of 3 iphones.
Will I run into any issues at customs? Will I be subject to any fees or taxes?
Additional info: I am a US passport holder and I will be stopping at Bogota, Colombia for a day.
Best Answer
If you are stepping out of the airport in Columbia then you might have a problem as you will be required to go through customs there.
As far as taking the phones into Argentina it depends. Usually you are only allowed ONE device per device class(i.e. cellphone, tablet, camera, laptop) per person. So legally if you bring more than that in you will either have to pay an importation tax or they can be seized.
