TIP - Temporary Import Permit for Boat - info needed
To All: My friend is planning a fishing trip to Bay of LA. He will be towing his 20' center console with outboard. I believe he will need a TIP for
the boat. Has anyone picked a TIP up lately? And, what is the process and can this be done online prior to leaving or at border? Any information would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks bk

Since you do not need a TIP for a vehicle why do you need one for a boat?

It is simple. You do not need to pay a third party to get a TIP for your boat. If this site distorts the link I posted send me a private message and
I will send it by email

There's NO Temporary Importation Permit for boats, you can ONLY get a 10 year permit that cost me $59.16 US Cy (including 16% tax) all you need is
your current boat registration (bring the title just in case) and your tourist permit; your vehicle doesn't need a permit because the peninsula is
"Zona Fronteriza (border zone) all the way to Cabo, in Sonora is all the land west of Hwy 15 all the way south to Guaymas. YES! your boat permit
outlives your tourist visa. I got my permit at the Tecate border crossing and it took about 30 minutes and you pay at the same window.
Here's a link that will be helpful, just click on Continue and select English then click on Boat Permit:
https://www.banjercito.com.mx/registroVehiburros/
Zona Fronteriza:
http://www.bajabound.com/before/permits/vehicle.php
This is the link to the Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico and the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria, they're the ones that determine the
"Zona Fronteriza". On the second item: "Region Fronteriza" it says that the state of Baja California and Baja California Sur are considered "Zona
Fronteriza":
http://www.sat.gob.mx/aduanas/pasajeros/Paginas/Franja_regio...
This is a link to a website by the US Department of State for tourists visiting Mexico, even though its in spanish you can look for "Permisos de
Vehiburros" and read lines 4,5 and 6 and once again you can see that Baja is "Zona Fronteriza"
http://spanish.matamoros.usconsulate.gov/ciudadanos/informac...
for some $@)?(^<$ reason the word "V e h i c u l o s" keeps on beeing changed to "Vehiburros" PLEASE just retype it before using the link, or copy
paste the link and then retype it on your browser. I used spaces between the letters ("V e h i c u l o s") so it wouldn't be detected and changed,
thus please eliminate the spaces between letters when retyping.

One more question. Is the temporary import permit just to get a boat across the border? what if you already have a boat in Mexico, will anyone ask to
see the permit?

The requirement for an annual boat permit (based on boat length) was stopped many years ago however a Temporary Import Permit (TIP) is required. The
cost is $50 and is good for 10 years and it is being checked at most marinas and even some launch ramps. I expect the Navy is also checking and I
have had marine park patrols check at Espiritu Santo.
It was easy for me to get at the ferry terminal in La Paz and they don't need to see the boat just your registration AND the serial number of your
engine(s) along with your passport.
