1100 pesos today. we got a receipt. They asked if we had any fruits and vegetables. as I had not anticipated this passage in advance (and nothing hidden) I opted to say that I had a little bit of grapes for this evening. This happened.

1100 pesos aujourd'hui. on a eu un reçu. ils ont demandé si on avait des fruits et légumes. comme je n'avais pas anticipé à l'avance ce passage, (et rien caché) j'ai opté pour dire que j'avais un tout petit peu de raisin pour ce soir. c'est passé.

400 ARS (tried to ask us 600 ARS)
And you can have all the fruits and vegetables (we think) except grappes (uva).
We had tomatoes, banana, avocado and it wasn’t a problem

300 ARS for a Fiat Ducato. We were asked for fruit, but bananas and apples are no problem.

anti-fungi spray 300 pesos ( truck camper)

Fruit+ vegetable control: just asked, we showed our bananas and a friendly guy let us go without checking our camper.

No problem at all.

We paid 650 pesos for the disinfection of our motorhome. The guy asked if we had fruits, we said yes, he asked to look at it, we showed our grapes, he asked where we where going, we said San Juan, he said ok and we kept our fruits.

Still 60 pesos per car! We had a lot of fruit and vegetables but we could take everything with us, I guess they really are only looking for grapes 😅

Northbound phyto-zoo-sanitary control. They charge 35 ARS to spray your vehicle (mainly underneath) with cypermethrin (google it). Careful if traveling with cats or if pregnant since it is a toxic chemical!! ⚠️

They stopped us and asked for 35AP for the desinfection of our car. We only had big bills so they just winked us through. After this you drive through the desinfection and that’s all. No question about fruits or anything else, they only asked where we were heading. Easy!

I can confirm that it looks like they only care about grapes. We stocked up on some fruit and veggies in Mendoza, which included onions, capsicum, carrots, apples, bananas, but these didn't interest the officer at all. He just nodded as we mentioned what we had in the car, and eventually asked if we also had grapes. We didn't and so we were waved on.

Remember to close your windows after passing the control guy because you'll drive through an automated spraying system. This should mostly only hit the bottom of your car, but better safe than sorry. Whatever they're spraying can't be too healthy.

They checked our fruits and vegetables. We had a lot of fresh food with us, but they said just our grapes are a problem. So right now we are at the checkpoint and eating grapes...
