Shipping to Buenos Aires
Hello one and all,
I've been scouring this site for some time, but I've now decided to sign up to quiz the collective wisdom.
In Sept of this year, my girlfriend and I are going to be flying to Buenos Aires for a 3 month jaunt around Argentina and Chile. Our bike, a R1150GS, will be shipped to Buenos Aires before hand, in order to arrive a little before us.
Herein lies my biggest head ache: trying to get some idea of costs and the associated bureaucracy. So far I can find a shipper to get the bike there and a crater to pack the bike.
But I'm finding it very difficult to work out how much I should budget for as far as customs charges are concerned: what are they and how much?
Also what should I put in place for a crossing from Arg into Chile as far as documents are concerned. I've read here that Carnets are not necessary and this is good as they're expensive.
So how do I do it? I don't want to get to Chile Chico and be truned away.
What about bike insurance out there, who will cover me???
HELP!
