Re: Making customs declarations when entering Mexico
Well I guess I spoke too soon. We crossed at the Columbia bridge on Monday at 8:15. We didn't get a red light. The lights did not appear to be working. Instead we were directed to move beyond the stopping point and pull over, stop, get out and open up the trailer. As someone on this forum predicted, the inspector opened some cabinets and then told us we were good to go. THE INTERESTING THING was that this scenario reoccured four more times, once at the 27 Km checkpoint, twice with the federal police and another with the army. None occurred on a toll road. The most thorough of the inspections was done by the Army on Route 57, after I mentioned that we had been inspected four times that day already. I don't know whether I should be happy that there are so many check points and theoretically increased security, or upset that they were seemingly picking on an RVer. Go figure.375Views0likes0CommentsMaking customs declarations when entering Mexico
I was wondering if anyone had ever made declarations of items they were bringing into Mexico at the border and if so what was the process they went through. For example, did the customs officials go through your rig and look at everything in it or just ask to see what it was you had declared? This will be our eighth trip into Mexico and we have always gotten a greenlight I'm wondering what happens when you make a declaration or if you get a red light. any stories would be appreciated.4KViews0likes18Comments
