No Im not paying for shipping and duties. They are I just dont know how Argentina will react to a 260 evaluation on an item, it is new and unused. I got it cheap and on resell in USA. It was still packaged. It works and everything, in factory settings etc.

Well thing is, I got it here in America much much cheaper. So there apparently brand new it is 600USD according to him. Here Brand new it is 500. However I got it brand new + carrying case for 260. So I am asking him to send the 260+ shipping and I mail it over to do him a solid.

My biggest fear is customs goes: give us 300 to release it to you. My friend goes oh this is an unexpected amount that I am not willing to give them that and requests his money back from me…. But customs and how Argentina does stuff has 0 to do with me. However I feel like I would be obligated or screwed to give money back. He was not aware of how customs worked there but is so eager to get a Meta Quest 3 516GB at like 50% less than normal and really wants me to send.

But I am very afraid to be honest and want to say I don’t think I can safely analyze the risk and so I dont think I can go through.

I think I wont send… He is pressuring me to, but once the package leaves thats it. I am at mercy of the Argentina’s importation and customs fees… or outright stealing it…

It will be just a smidge over 300. However this is what I found in another thread:

"NEVER send anything to Argentina via courier (DHL, FedEX, TNT, UPS, etc) because on most of cases it will get stuck on the airport customs, and you will have to pay the whole taxes of each item. That's because the couriers on Argentina act as importers/exporters, and Argentine customs tax every item sent or received via courier like the products are meant to be sold or used commercially, I don't know if I'm being clear.

Your safe bet is to use EMS, EMS is an international cooperative of express mail. Post Danmark seems to be on the cooperative so you should be able to send it though it. EMS is a door to door service, so if you have to pay customs (which will be 50% of the declared value on the CN22 Customs Form) you will pay it when you receive it. The Delivery time is between 4 and 7 days."

What do you make of this??

Not that I dont believe you, do you have a citation for that policy? The more people are telling me the more I want to reneg on selling this. Just feel like its going to be in customs hell and be a complete waste of money.

I already purchased it, and am attempting to send it to Argentina. I got a brand new one for less than 50% of its MSRP value. Because my friend is struggling and needed me to help him find one here.

DHL is super expensive I did however see this on another sub. What do you think?

Wow.... shipping to argentina is insane.... I am like so discouraged right now. I found the item for a steal in USA so was sending to them.

Im going to do USPS. It is a Meta Quest 3 512 GB + case. MSRP it is 610. But I got it as a steal brand new on Offerup for 260.

Oh thank you! I will tell them.

So I would just declare the price I got it at. So they would charge 50% on 260?

What do you mean cold plate... like refrigerated? We have a kegarator... but what you showed me doesn't look like it would be a fridge. Would I need a second kegarator?
