Mobile phones, laptops, or tablets carried upon entry are considered personal effects and do not need to be declared; they do not count toward the USD 500 duty‑free allowance. It is not recommended to ship exhibition items via courier services, as each shipment is limited to 50 kg in weight and a FOB value of no more than USD 3,000 per invoice.

Time difference: Argentina is 11 hours behind Beijing time.

Weather and Recommendations: September falls in Buenos Aires’ spring, with average temperatures around 15–20°C. There’s a significant temperature difference between morning and evening, so it’s advisable to bring a shirt to layer with a jacket, and also pack a smart outfit for business occasions.

Voltage and Outlets: The local voltage is 220V/50Hz, and the outlets are Type C (two round pins) and Type I (Australian standard three flat pins). Please bring your own adapter.

Communication method: It is recommended to activate international roaming on your mobile phone in advance, or to purchase a local SIM card upon arrival.

Customs and Safety:

• The official language is Spanish; it’s advisable to prepare common phrases in advance or bring a translation tool.

• In restaurants, taxis, and other service settings, tipping is customary; the standard tip at restaurants is around 10% of the bill.
