Argentina has instituted what amounts to a 35% import duty. Yes, that's a lot, but most things are purchased domestically.
Argentina has an import duty over the VAT... So that's + 21% +35%. That's been like that since I can remember.
To make the math easier for you, customs set a unique 50% tax on imports to local market. And that's only over the goods.
You still have to pay if you need to send money out of the country via a wire transfer.
For some reason CCs were exempt from this, now another 35% tax was set, deducible from your income tax... But as anywhere else, almost all Argentinians fake their income declarations, so they can't justify their foreign expenses and never get the reimbursement.
I'm sure I must have a lot more stacked.

Mmm... I don't know which applies to google and which to the NSA....
