3 had a few detours around road work but with such little traffic it's not bad at all. This was 3 weeks ago, maybe someone has something more current.pquil - 12-10-2016 at 03:15 PM
Thanks!!! Hoping for an update & general preference from San Diego. Traveling with a car full of stuff for a new home...bajaguy - 12-10-2016 at 03:18 PM
Depending on how much "stuff" you have, Tecate may be your best choice. No construction in town, a few stretches of construction south, but good

Appreciate the info. Figuring I have approx 3k of stuff. Not sure about getting taxed IVA at the border? Can anyone tell me the amount of items u
can bring in?woody with a view - 12-10-2016 at 07:00 PM
not very much. bajaguy - 12-10-2016 at 07:09 PM
If you have a lot of stuff, they may send you to Otay.....or not. YMMV

From I-5 or I-15, tecate is always longer drive than SY when southbound.
Northbound SY almost always faster too. DENNIS - 12-10-2016 at 09:13 PM
Used to be, they drew the line at 1000 dlls value before they sent you to Otay. I don't know if that has changed or not. Anyway, even if it's new,
make it look used, and reevaluate its value reasonably. They know more than you can imagine about these things.
It's just one of the worlds oldest games.brucedog - 12-11-2016 at 07:43 PM
I had a van full of household stuff last year and the San Ysidro officers said they couldn't process me there and sent me to Otay Mesa. I had lots of
new furniture but also used household items. the value was about $4500 but they charged me for $3600 which is the max if your rig fits under the bar
(my tall Sprinter van fit). Good Luck!
