Ex-pats living in the border zone of Mexico can import goods for personal use, as long as the value does not exceed $75.
It is strongly recommended that anyone crossing the border, on a regular basis, print a copy of the rules and regulations for what may, or may not,
be imported into Mexico (one site to visit is: http://www.senasica.gob.mx). "

Secondary for me, every trip.
I said I was moving there, put all the boxes containing crap like tupperware, old pots, pans, obvious house stuff. they would open a couple boxes, ask
for electronics and I just said, my rotten ex took it all. Heck, I could even squeeze out a couple tears if I had too. This last trip across, the gurd
said I HAD to pay a $20 tax on something or other, can't even remember what it was. I pulled $23 from my wallet and said, "THIS is all I have to live
on till Friday, my ex took everything". Not far from truth either. She called over ANOTHER guard who was obviously her lover, they ignored me, left me
standing while they CANOODLED in secondary. I said, ah...um....what do I need to do now? Her BF softened her up with his kisses, and she was more
interested in THAT than messing with me further, so she said, "You can go..." 
I't takes a straight face, a good line of BS and go for their heart strings. Now, I may have just broken my 'Luck'. I still have a load to take back,
WITH my brothers computer, (He died a month ago), AND my Mom being sweet disregarded my request for a USED microwave off Craigs list and bought me a
shiny chrome new one at Costco. Careful packing, I may get away with it, but, I better take cash.
