Pre-Arranged Meetings

We will schedule appointments with the key officials, and even arrange for a car and driver if so desired.

* A Small or Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) is defined as a firm with 500 or fewer employees or self-certified as a small business under SBA regulations. A large company is defined as a firm with more than 500 employees. Subsidiaries will be classified based on the size of the parent company.

Driver will require an additional fee, which should be paid directly to the provider on termination of service. 

We can also make hotel reservations for you at special Embassy discount rates. Click here for a list of business hotels in Argentina that offer special Embassy rates.  Please take note that, in order to benefit from the discount hotel rates, reservations must be made by the U.S. Commercial Service in Argentina.  

You will benefit from a briefing with the American Officer and the Commercial Specialist responsible for your industry sector, and an illustrative study of direct import costs for your products to help you set appropriate pricing for this market.

In order to conduct the Service, please complete this Pre-Registration Form.  You should send details and product literature (no products, no samples) by first-class U.S. mail, from the nearest Post Office, to our Diplomatic Mail Center address. Please plan ahead, as it will take approximately four weeks for us to receive your brochures through this mail service.

Shipments should be addressed as follows:

Mr. Charles Ranado
Commercial Officer/GKMS

U.S. Embassy

3130 Buenos Aires PL

Washington, D.C. 20521-3130

We strongly recommend against mailing product literature through courier or airfreight services.  Should you feel more comfortable sending the materials by express courier, please mark clearly to "Bill Sender" any additional expenses on the airway bill.  You should also make it clear that the shipment has "no commercial value" and that its contents are "not for sale".   Courier services operating in Argentina are subject to Customs restrictions.  They are not permitted to retrieve shipments that exceed a certain volume and a certain weight.  If a shipment is held at Customs for any reason, CS Argentina will not retrieve it.  This would entail obtaining Customs clearance, paying storage fees, and other charges.  CS Argentina has neither the staff nor the financial resources to undertake this time- and money-consuming task.

We will proceed with setting up your appointments upon receiving your company’s product literature (10 sets for one day of appointments; 20 sets for two days of appointments), the completed Pre-Registration Form and confirmation of payment from the appropriate U.S. Commercial Service Office that you are working with on this project. The U.S. Commercial Service accepts payments through American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards.  If you would like to pay with a check, please make it payable to  "U.S. Commercial Service".

Transportation services are paid directly to the contractor, in cash, upon completion of services.
