    A report by the consulting firm GFK found that electronics like smartphones, tablets, TVs, and washing machines are most expensive in Argentina compared to neighboring countries like Brazil and Chile. The report analyzed pricing in each country and found that smartphones in Argentina cost over $200 more than in Brazil and over $500 more than in Chile. Tablet prices were also over $100 more in Argentina than Brazil and over $120 more than Chile. One of the main reasons for Argentina's higher prices is its import taxes, which can be over 20% for items over $300, aimed at protecting domestic manufacturers.
