Kind of depends on just that....how much. If you mean enough to build a house....you'll have to import it.....probably at Otay. They're down on bringing in quantities of material any more.

I built my house about five years back and brought a lot of it through the gate, but I wouldn't do it again. The lumber yards here, one or the other, will have most of what you need. It'll cost more, but it's here.

Where and what are you building?

You can bring into Mexico, $150 dollars in goods if you have a FM2-3 document.

Otherwise it's $50 bucks worth.
