Get to border, go left, no one around, have to go find someone to try and pay. Have receipt totaling $1850, agent says $348, me, "is that with personal exemptions?", her "yes, is that to much? Do you want to pay less?", me "yes" ok how about $200 with receipt?" and away we went. No water at detour but roadwork replacing washout road.

Does anyone know anything about this mention of being allowed SIX liters of WINE?
I want to bring down a case of champagne for my birthday week, but I thought we were only allowed 3 liters per adult, which would total eight 750 ml bottles.
Thoughts anyone?

We were once over on liquor as they had a copy of our receipt from duty free ( i guess it transmits over) so we got red light and had to go in and pay 100% duty!

Yep, wildtoucan, that's why I'm trying to be careful about going over the limit. We usually just buy our beer and tequilla in PP, but they don't have my favorite peach champagne down there! Don't say yuck until you've tried it! It is amazing over ice, oh boy am I looking forward to sipping iced champagne on the playa. :razz:

That link led me to the Aduanas link in his post, Pasajeros - Passengers arriving by land which states that it is true!
I think I will print the page with the info from Aduanas and have it with me at the border, just in case.

Thanks Roberto, that is good news about your wine getting through inspection!
It is just the hubby and me going, so we have no extra people to divide our stuff.
TerryC, if I drink it all before the border, there will be no champagne on the playa! Oh no! :hateit:
