Do I have to declare a new 20hp Yamaha outboard when crossing border? JZ - 11-16-2018 at 04:19 PM
I've crossed many times with an outboard engine. Always had an inflatable with me, rolled up separate from the engine. They wouldn't be capable of
connecting the boat/motor, so they didn't give me a pass because of that. No one has ever asked anything.
I wouldn't declare that. No way. Put something on top of it to make things go smoother.
Worst comes to worst, make up an invoice for the engine and have it ready if asked.

Depending on the value, if it isn't over $1000 (I'm not sure the limit amount of personal belongings), I would declare it and have them say that it's
ok. Otherwise, it's up to you if you want to pay the duty. As long as it is personal and you plan to take it back north (tee hee) you should be clear
of customs. Just have a sale's receipt to prove the value one way or another.woody with a view - 11-16-2018 at 07:26 PM
Good luck if they see it. Bring the receipt just in case because you’ll pay an import duty on it if they do see it. Russ - 11-17-2018 at 05:33 AM
Bringing it across without the boat they may snag you for duty. Have a sales slip with the serial number on it just in case. Maybe have a photo of a
boat without the motor and say the motor goes with the boat because the original motor died. I like the inflatable boat idea. gnukid - 11-17-2018 at 06:15 AM
Carry a copy of a boat TIPnorte - 11-17-2018 at 12:57 PM
we got snagged....and the aduana officer looked up the value in a little black book.
