Hi Bob
I hope I can find out something, but we are a country where the ambassadors are politicians with no interest in protecting or trading correctly as everyone else does, but to see what slice of money they can get for their personal fortune. We are governed by bureaucratic politicians, corrupt and millionaires like Cuba or Venezuela to give an example. It is very sad what I write but it is the reality. It must be difficult for you to understand what I say.

The tons of spare parts from the second world war that were sold to the foundry, was basically due to the impossibility of exporting them....

........ sorry to hear. I do not want this thread to become a political arena and we should be careful of what criticism we post. We all have to live within the laws of our countries.

I will try from my end and I DO expect some resistance, I was a government employee for over 52 years with some years at the Canadian Industry, Trade and Commerce..............and now fully retired............but I just have to give it a try.

Cheers

I agree with Bob that this is not the place to debate our problems with our various governments. I am curious though about the restrictions on exports from Argentina.

Is the problem to do with military origin or that the items are classed as antiquities ? Or just plain bureaucracy ? I know of someone who exported a number of British manufactured steam engines from Argentina to the UK about 15 years ago with relatively little difficulty and they would certainly have been a problem to export from Australia (amongst other countries) because of their age.

I apologize for talking about political issues, but it is the only way I found for you to know that sending cmp parts abroad is a very difficult, expensive and sometimes impossible task.

Bob I hope I can find out something about this.

David Mainly the problem is bureaucratic Customs has a lot of paperwork and taxes and is corrupt. Sometimes we have more liberal governments, but the current one is not.

If anyone knows of a friend who travels to Argentina and wants to take advantage of their return to bring them something, it would be the easiest thing to do.

...... where do you find the suitcase for a CMP???????? can you install handles on a sea container!!!!!

Currently waiting for the snow storm to stop before contacting the Embassy as street parking will be near impossible. Then I may contact friends at International Affairs in Ottawa to get their read on the situation.

I'd just like to thank Mariano for his generous efforts to get a few of the small jacking bar clips to me. It has taken about 10 months and involved a third person, in another country. Thank you Mariano and your friend Christian, for going to the trouble to help. From down around the corner, I salute you both.

Hi Lynn
Good news to know that you already have the clips in your hands.
The merit belongs to Christian, who took them from Argentina to Mexico and from Mexico to the US.
Nice to have been able to help with this little thing.
Cheers
