You should have ordered it from a company in Mexico.

Was there no other place from which to purchase the case?

Having said that, do they seriously believe a terrorist is going to order ONE case from Argentina to use to hold a bomb? Insanity...

What case did you order? Compared to the leather Kensington case I've had for years for my 15" PowerBook, the Kensington leather case dor my 17" MacBook Pro is a real clunker. It is huge: it would hold three or four MBPs... :-(

Do you have a URL with a description & photo? I would even face your "importer hassle" to get something more sleek -- but I sure as heck wouldn't like it!

I think your SS# would work in lieu of an importer #. Customs relies on you to declare the value of the item, etc., so it can assess the duty.

You are not entitled to purchase a computer case in Argentina and bring it in at no charge. That's just the way it is.
