Guidelines for Travelers Bringing Electronic Devices to Mexico

If you're planning a trip to Mexico, it's important to be aware that while the rules regarding the import of electronic devices are not new, they are being enforced more strictly in recent times. Travelers are allowed to bring one portable computing device—such as a laptop, notebook, or iPad—without incurring import fees. If you pack more than one device (e.g., a laptop and an iPad), each additional device will be treated as a separate item, which may result in additional charges.

Allowed Devices

• 1 laptop OR similar portable computing device (e.g., iPad)

• Up to 3 cell phones

• 1 GPS device

• 2 cameras

• 1 pair of binoculars

• 4 fishing poles

Exceeding the Limits

If you bring more than the allowed quantity of these items, you may be subject to customs duties, which typically start at 19% of the item's estimated value. In some cases, fees can go as high as 200%.

Be mindful of these limits to avoid unexpected costs during your trip! Proper planning and awareness of these guidelines can help you steer clear of delays and extra charges at customs.
