During the inbound flight, you will receive and need to fill
out a customs form (Hacienda). After passing through immigration,
you collect your bags and proceed to the exit. You will hand
the form to the customs agent and press the button on what
looks like a traffic light.
A green light means “go” and red means “inspection” in which
case, officials perform a quick inspection.
As a rule of thumb you are allowed to bring into Mexico whatever
you need for the time period you will be staying in Mexico.
You are not allowed to bring food, fruits and/or products
that are not "company" packed and sealed. And if you are bringing
food or products they are allowed only if you need them because
of a special diet or for medical reasons.
The same rule applies to medicine. You are allowed to bring
enough medicine for the time period you will be in Mexico.
If you are bringing an unusual quantity of medicine please
bring a doctor's prescription just in case you need to prove
the medicine is for your own consumption.
If you have any questions about Mexican Customs please check
our FAQ section. There is a good chance
somebody already asked that question. If not, then we strongly
recommend you contact your nearest Mexican Consulate. There
you can get more specific information about anything that
has to do with "allowances" and what products are prohibited
in Mexico.
