Jtom, I have a different perspective after reading about your adventure at Del Rio.
As you said, it is CARGO. As an RP you are allowed to bring into Mexico up to $300USD's of cargo tax free by land. Over $3000USD you need a broker to process the import.

I think Chris’s situation is different. I am pretty sure there is some obscure Aduana law stating reporting any improvements on your vehicle. There always is some obscure law somewhere.
You are driving, approaching the border, coming home to Mexico. You have a choice, Declare or No Declare. What do you chose??????? Do you open the can of worms?
