Can you bring a weapon to Argentina?
Short answer
Prohibited
Weapons
prohibitedFirearms and explosives are prohibited in baggage unless the national firearms authority (RENAR, formerly ANMAC) has authorised them in advance. Flammables are also excluded.
The ARCA 'Objetos permitidos y prohibiciones' page reads 'Armas, explosivos (salvo autorización del RENAR)'. ARCA's 2018 baggage infographic names the authority as ANMAC. Contact the firearms authority well before travel, for example for hunting trips. No authorisation procedure was read.
Also covers: weapons, firearms, guns, ammunition, explosives, hunting rifle, fireworks
