Question

We have a FM3 visa, what can we bring across the mexican border in our little wagon?

Answer 1

You can bring any kind of personal or household goods...just not brand new stuff...or at least remove pkging and tags, and rumple them.  Laptop is fine, desktoptoo...have purchase receipt to show it is "old."  It is good to have everything in boxes or bags, and tag and number every box and bag.  Have a typed list of what is in each box or bag.  Make 3 copies of this list.   Chances are your vehicle won't even be checked, but if it is,

SMILE, be extremely cooperative, and do not act the least bit bothered.  . Pleasantly provide a copy of your list.  At this point, they will probably just wave you thru. I moved to Mexico 2 yrs ago with my SUV stuffed...no problem.  Since your space will be limited, bring your clothes, personal items, family pics, computer, few fav. books ...     do NOT bring dishes, flatware, kitchen stuff, sheets, linens ,Tv's.  Easier just to buy them here.  Be glad to help you if you have other questions...just email me.
