Hauling a 55 inch flat screen around while camping.:?::?:

Tough, to say the least. :saint::biggrin:

I've just completed building a home in Rosarito so I was bringing in a lot of building materials and I found it's better to declare then to get stopped. I scanned in a receipt and reduced the prices on the computer....just because I'm cheap. You can be honest about it and pay the full tax but the moral of the story is you do not get hassled when entering mexico. Just wave the receipt and you go right in. I don't think there is a tax on used items but some items are not allowed.

Over the past few months I have had to bring in a few new items in original packaging: king size mattress and box springs, dishwasher, 65" flat screen TV, and a washer & dryer set. I declared all the items and was charged 16% tax on the item price paid(no tax included) minus a personal credit of $250 to $300(depends on the Aduana agent). You are allowed the personal credit for each person in your vehicle.

If you do fake a receipt be warned that they have a hand held bar code reader / scanner and can look-up the item price on the internet(took less than 30 seconds for my washer & dryer from Home Depot).

All the agents I dealt with were friendly and questioned why I did not bring other people to get more personal credit.....

If you want to see how to maximize credits go to the declaration area and Otay Mesa and see how the Mexicans load up the trucks with stuff and many people :yes:
