What documentation I need to enter firearms to Argentina?
The Firearms Importation/Technical Form must be filled out in triplicate for its control when entering or exiting the country. Before your hunting trip begins, you will be sent a firearm permit form to be completed, so we can work on the advanced paperwork. Gun import permit is approximately USD 140 per gun (it may vary). Three guns per person are allowed. Please, be aware that RENAR does not allow people to come in with Semiauto Rifles. Also, ammunition and cartridges will have to be dispatched in a hard box by separate as a registered baggage and hunters are not allowed to bring ammo without their correspondent guns.

Not at all. You will need a firearm exporting and reimporting license issued in your country and a temporary Argentinean license to import your firearm. This procedure can be done at the nearest Argentinean consulate or embassy from your residence. You need to present passport and firearm documents. Once you are at the Argentinean airport you should deal with the firearm license, issued by Aeronautics Police and pay for the required fee.
