Bonded Freight Broker
When one moves to Mexico with an FM 3 and takes advantage of the one time opportunity to import house hold goods, free of duty. would it not be
prudent to use a freight broker. If you imported more than $1,000. per person? are you required to go to specific crossing and is a freight broker
required.
If so, how does one pick a broker (recommendation) and how do they base their charges.

If you have a Menaje de Casa, you will have to get a customs broker.

You had it easy.
It took us 4 days. Too long a story to tell here.
Wrong info by the embassay, Changed the paperwork requirements, holiday, power outage, you name it.
The kicker is I caused a 3 car accident in the middle of TJ. No problimo.
We had to stop on the uphill by the border to check the trailer and found major hitch problems. 4 guys were trying to steal things from the trailer. I
had an ax in my hand trying to repair the hitch when I went to investigate the thieves. They ran. All this in the dark.
