can construction material ( plywood ) be taken across at
tecate and how much--dislike otay.---thanks

Kind of depends on just that....how much. If you mean enough to build a house....you'll have to import it.....probably at Otay. They're down on bringing in quantities of material any more.

I built my house about five years back and brought a lot of it through the gate, but I wouldn't do it again. The lumber yards here, one or the other, will have most of what you need. It'll cost more, but it's here.

Where and what are you building?

need approx 30 sheets---about 500-600.00 dollars

30 sheets of which size and type? Maybe I can give you an idea of the local price.

You can bring into Mexico, $150 dollars in goods if you have a FM2-3 document.

Otherwise it's $50 bucks worth.
