Canceling TIP

The form that Tequila's link goes to is the same one that I have on my website; only mine also has an English translation. I also tell you what documentation you need and how to handle all this (Example: do NOT use the mail system!).

Heres a direct LINK to the forms. However you will still have to log into either my sticky at the top of this forum or my website to get the rest of the info.

Not trying to one-up anyone, just trying to help.

Oh, and TIP stands for Temporary Import Permit. I also describe where and when you need one of these things on both locations. You'll also find out what RCNC stands for :B Which appears to apply to your situation!

Thanks for the tip:B

this shows why you should always cancel it when you leave and just pay the $40 again next time.

A friend got his cancelled this spring with a police report that the vehicle was in Canada, including its VIN. Had to be on official police letterhead, in this case the RCMP. As turtle said it takes 4 months. In his case it was a tow car and they cancelled it 2 days after the 180 days was up so he lost his deposit. How convenient


I gave him a call and he sent me the link to the form you have to fill out and said it has to be mailed with a police report on the accident with the VIN number of the vehicle on it. The form has the address.

FORM

In your case the police report may not be possible but it would not hurt to try filling out the form & mailing it in anyway. Maybe a report from the insurance company?

Other solution if the TIP was registered in your name is to put the new one in your wifes.

BTW the line in Spanish "Por lo cual anexo la siguiente documentación" means "I am attaching the following documents". That implies they wants some sort of documentation.

The people at the border cannot cancel a tip unless you have the vehicle with you! Check my sticky entitled New and Improved Border FAQ's at the top of this forum for more info. You can also go to my Turtle and Toad website and click on the blue BORDER FAQ for additional info, including the address and forms you will need to cancel your TIP. It can take as long as 3-4 months, but that's still better than 6+ years.

Could you take the window with the TIP on it to the Mexican authorities? With photos of the wrecked RV.

PapPappy: I believe it means: Vehicle Import Permit.

From the Mexpro.Com: Q: What if I have an accident that totals my vehicle or it is stolen while visiting Mexico? How do I cancel my permit?

A: Contact Mexico customs at these phone numbers: (from Mexico) 01-800-463-6728, press option 7 for "comercio exterior" (from U.S.) 1-800-475-2393; or this email address: CIITEVAduanaMexico@sat.gob.mx.

I'm confused:H

Is TIP : Trailer Insurance Policy??

Sorry that you're having problems.
