Bringing mini split into US from Mexico
Last fall we bought several mini splits from Koppel.
We have an extra one we like to put in a rental in Sacramento.
Anyone knows what's involved getting it across the border?

You can cross the mini splits, just declare it. I crossed 3 mini splits with no problems. You can cross up to $900 in merchandise, i think.
Make it a Great Day!!

Sales tax is not automatically charged but...
customs declarations are given to the state tax people and
the state tax people charge state taxes from the importer

many of those will void your home owners insurance, they don't meet U.S. standards. check first.

Perhaps you may be interested in selling it on your way to Ensenada?
