we have brought wood across, and no one said boo.

and we have been turned around, which was so disappointing. went to otay, hired a broker and went thru. We had to import the motor that time, plus other stuff...cost us $400 BUT WE GOT THRU. We live so far south that not being able to get into Mexico is a big headache.

and a friend who was bringing us some gorgeous triangle palms got them confiscated but he wasn't turned around.

it is very arbitrary!



"it is very arbitrary!"

You're absolutely correct. There have been countless threads about bringing stuff south and inevitably people post differing experiences importing the same items. Probably due to complicated rules that fundamentally don't have any practical reason for existing.

Sorry...I forgot to mention that they did tell me that with 25 pieces of wood or less I could have crossed. Above 25 and you have to cross with the commercial trucks. Who knows if that is actually enforced and as easy as it sounds. But it is what they told me. And they said it has to be at Otay Mesa.

I thought the amount was determined by cost....not pieces.
