Argentina is a country with distinct cultural features that makes it unique from other Latin [American countries](http://www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/national-power-mains/north-america.html). Extensive market research and due diligence are necessary for a company’s success. Working with local agents or representatives can be beneficial because they can assist in the best ways to market a company’s product due to knowing the local business climate. Another important element to consider is promotion. Other recommendations include being present at and/or displaying at local and regional trade shows. A variety of resources available to assist in learning about market entry strategies include the United States Commercial Service and the [United Kingdom](http://www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/national-power-mains/united-kingdom-ireland.html) Trade and Investment. Establishing personal relationships are essential as Argentines prefer to do business with people they know. Courtesy and developing trust are two essential characteristics in creating these business partnerships. Knowledge of the dress code, how to greet people, and how to begin a business discussion are all important elements. Have an introduction through an intermediary rather than calling a company directly. Be on time to meetings and have a good supply of business cards. The cards should be bilingual. For more information, among the sources to consult are the United States Commercial Service and United Kingdom Trade and Investment. Learn the country’s customs requirements. In Argentina, the Customs General Directorate is an agency which is a part of the AFIP (Federal Administration of Public Revenue) that is responsible for the import/export process. Argentina is a member of the World Trade Organization and the World Customs Organization. It is also a member of MERCOSUR, the Southern Common Market. The official language in Argentina is Spanish. While many also speak English and other European languages, hire a quality interpreter for all meetings as business is usually conducted in Spanish. Written documents may need to be translated by a certified public translator. In Argentina, the voltage used is 220V with 50Hz. The most frequently specified plug pattern is the [Argentina](http://www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/national-power-mains/argentina.html) plug.
