I sure wish it was not so expensive to mail books to Argentina. I am liquidating my entire hunting book collection and am sure many of my southern amigos would enjoy some....but the cost....

I was told that there is no customs duty on books, and that helps.

Included is my Capstick collection.

All the best.....and if any of you will be at SCI this month say hello.

Thank you very much Bill.
Unfotunatelly we have to pay custom duty for all products invluding books.
We have the first $25.- fee of duty but we pay 50% for the rest,
Thanks

A real shame....I had thought that Juan had mentioned once that there was no duty on books....
would it make a difference if the books were used?

Martín: I´ve revised the current law (25.446) and don´t find taxes over book´s importation. A different thing is the way the courier brings the books here. If DHL we must use "Priority" and the envelope is delivered to our door. No tax involved, at least for me. Customs´ officers almost always try to bribe..

Ricardo....thanks....I have been told before that using Priority mail is also best....

"....officers almost always try to bribe."
That's in their job description....

NOT TAXES ON BOOKS ,MAGAZINES OR SIMILAR ,I RECEIVE BOOKS WEEKLY .BILL SENT ME A LOT NEVER PAID A CENT .

It looks like it deppends on location.
In Bahia Blanca we pay 50% for everything books included.
Only small books pass.
You have luck Juan living in Cordoba.

Many of the chaps I know down south are interested in Peter Capstick's books. I have the following. If you are interested send me a PM and I will quote a price after I go to the post office and inquire as to shipping cost. Probably Priority International would be the best. All in as new condition....

No taxes whatsoever are applied to books... believe me, I know something about taxes

Bill, my friend... may I ask you why are you doing such a thing? Books are close friends, they have the magic to speak to us in a languaje no many people can... why are you giving them away ?

Books, music and weapons were my major problems with my ex ... books and music could take me anywhere (if proper words or sounds were played) and weapons are both art and tools needed to calm the calls (should I say shouts?) of my spirit... been almost 44, my decision was not difficult (no need of viagra... yet !!! - just plenty of women from where to pick my next chosen one ) but my books... dude, my books are sacred !!! I have been collecting books since I was seven years old.... read and re read all of them more than twice... and I am stiil eager to re read many of them !

Un abrazo, amigo !

I am sitting at my desk at SCI Reno...wish you and my other Argentine friends were here. Had dinner last night with Quimby and two of the Phs I have hunted with in the past in South Africa.....looking forward to seeing you in March....
