Food at the Border
Leaving on Monday O Dark Thirty for a month of fun and games with friends in the Mulege area. Crossing at TJ probably around 6:30 or so and I was
wondering if there had been any foods confiscated by the Border Guards.

This links to Sign-on-San Diego so you have to be patient. For me, it's always been slow.

I've never heard of restrictions for chicken going south. maybe it's a new payback.

Tjuana crossing
somewhere I probably have a picture of the sign, I will hunt to see if I can find it ...
I looked and I don't know where it is ... but we ALWAYS have to go to inspection because our truck looks just like those segunda trucks with stuff
piled up high like there is no tomorrow .... and as I have time to look around the inspection area ... one of the newer signs has a chicken on it
with a line thru it.

No one has ever asked us what kind of food or how much, we are bringing into Mexico and we've never given it a thought. They are concerned however
when they see tires or boxes of wine!!!

Egads 829, I do hope you mean "boxes of bottles of wine" as opposed to "boxed wine"... there are standards to be upheld on this board after all

Why would someone want to have unmounted tires?
My experience is that they are the same price if not cheaper in mexico. Tires are definately cheaper when mounted and balances in mexico. Shop rates
in the states are ridiculous.
It seems like a waste of space to me.

I always sneak in my Ribs and potato salad. ......usually we hide the stuff inside the spare tire in the trunk.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

We have brought chicken every time we come down! AND they have often times checked out our cooler and it is right there. Never heard of that. BUt,
nothing suprises me anymore. We always bring our own wine and beer and use it until we run out and then buy in SF. Just dont like to go and shop the
first couple of days..........we get there and like to beach, golf and play not shop. Nancy

Just re-read the article. Looks to me like you cannot go into the States with fowl and their ilk-think it is still ok to bring it into MX

oh my goodness......the sign has a chicken with a red cross over it - I swear !!! we too brought frozen chicken across because we had never heard of
this before. We had a cooler full of food and they never blinked at it - but the sign definitely says NO FOWL and I even asked to confirm this was
true.
