Does anyone know if its a good idea to do it in Punta Arenas or maybe its not needed. In some other entry I read that the customs at Punta Arenas declined any help with transferring the TIP.
Does anyone has done a TIP transfer in Argentina or Chile? I plan to be close to Ushuaia by Jan-Feb 2025
Cheers

Haven't done this, so I may be clueless (we travel on CdP). However...
- Punta Arenas is in Chile not Argentina.
- I believe that to close out your TIP you have to leave the country - close out the TIP, and the buyer then enters the next country and applies for a TIP (although could also travel on a CdP). If planning to go to Punta Arenas from Argentina, and if you find a buyer for the bike, then the simple way to handle this is to do the transfer at the border between Argentina and Chile.
- If entering a Zona Franca is considered leaving country then I guess that it may be possible to transfer ownership there, however the customs people will be focussed on the duty-free aspect and may not have any idea how to handle closing out a TIP (and issuing a new one).
