Truck pulling Trailer

As permanent residents you cannot own American plated vehicles. You can do most of the work via internet using a custom's broker. You can send requests to many and look for the best estimate.

When I imported our travel trailer, it cost about 22% of the trailer price for importacion taxes, pedimento, etc. Not a difficult task but if you go to the border with out prearrangement, you waste a lot of time.

All customs brokers have warehouses or lots on the U.S. side where you can keep your vehicle while they are doing the paperwork. They will then walk you across the border with the paperwork in hand and get the rv through without a problem.

I've done it twice with different brokers and the procedure was the same.

We own the vehicle, and have our permanent residency, so it's legal, and insured.

We are working with our local Consulate, and have all of the forms we need for moving our household items down. Yes, itemize each box, in Spanish, on their forms, and make loads of copies.

Next question is do we believe the Consulate and just arrive at the border with all of our paperwork and lots of time, or do we hire a customs broker? We'd LOVE to hear about other's experiences with this.

It's for next year, so we have time.....

Trlr needs a 6 month tip. It may have to be tied to the tow vehicle. Not possible with a Mex truck. May be illegal for a foreigner to drive a Mex plated vehicle that is not yours. No insurance for sure.

The trailer with US plates needs a permit.

That crossing should be fun to watch, lots of eyebrows going up aand down.

It's the trailer we are questioning.

IF the trailer has US plates, does it need a permit?

We expect to be gone through thoroughly, and are prepared.

If the Pickup is registered and plated in Guerrero,why would you not have the correct plate on it ?
I would think that you will be pulled over for inspections of the Cargo in both the truck and the trailer!

Just my 2 cents worth!

“This could be another interesting topic of discussion! “

Probably not. The Republc of Mexico makes the decision....sets the rules. Follow their rules.
