Argentina customs and border crossing from brazil to Argentina
Last week I rode my bike form Brazil to Argentina crossing the border at Iguaçu.
On the Argentina side of the border I was asked for m y passport and bike registration. The lady filled in some details on a computer stamped my passport and returned them. I asked if that was it and if I needed to fill in any documents she said no just go see the customs officer which I did. The customs officer asked to see my insurance for Argentina and then sent me on my way. I was not given any temporary import documents for my bike.
I am now in Argentina and have been told that if I try and leave the country my bike could be confiscated if I don’t have a temporary import documents.
This seems crazy as I asked for one and was told ''no you are finish go'', when I was at the Iguaçu border.
Does anyone have any first hand recent experience of entering Argentina from Brazil? Please could you let me know if you were given any documents? And if not did you have any problems leaving the country?
THANKS
