How does someone legalize a car from the US in Mexico?

Question

A friend is sending a car to his mother in Mexico via another friend who is traveling to Guatemala. He is traveling as a tourist and has registered the car for tourism purposes. What are the steps to legalize the automobile?

Answer 1

You should have them check with nearest Mexican consulate..

Answer 2

You simply have to pay the Federal Fiscal the import duty.

Costs vary of course depending on the year.

You should tell them the purpose and tell them at the border what your intentions are.

A guy I knew brought an older one 95 maybe and paid $800 USD .

You will be given the paperwork that you will have to take to the local transit office to get it plated .

You may have some issues as you must be the registered owner to do all the aforementioned
