    Right, no duty. You never know if you will be chosen to be cloesly inspected or not. I drove on through with just a wave from the guards. The actual inspection would be at the 12 mile checkpoint, not at the actual border. Randomely, they will thoroughly check a vehicle. Have everything in boxes, put a number on each box. Have a list with the box number and the items in that box. If you know Spanish, have a copy in Spanish for them. If they do ask you to unload, or ask what you have, SMILE, be very laid back and co-operative. Tell them, sure, and I have a list here if you would like it...they love this. Often, they will just glance at it and pass you on. Organization impresses them. If they see you are prepared for an inspection, they are less likely to make you unload it all. The site below tells all about the menaje de casa. I never had that as I did not bring big pieces of furniture, and know others who have not had one. I brought clothes personal stuff, small appliances, other small household stuff. I even now people who brought a truck full of small furniture without a menaje. unless you are bringing in a truck full of furniture I think you can get by without it...in other words, just your personal vehicle stuffed to the gills. Just hold up your FM3 and smile.

    There is no duty IF your FM-3 is less than 6 months old. It is called a maneje de casa.I have heard various stories about border crossings where you are transporting your own stuff. We used a moving company and had to provide a list of what was in each box (ie books, kitchen misc.) plus a detailed list of every electronic item with description, manufacturer and serial number, in Spanish.

    You may have to pay duty on any electronic item less than 6 month old if you are stopped. .

    Here is a Website with tons of information.
