QUESTIONS
a. Does anyone have a list of gas stations in Baja that now carry Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel? john@themcintoshs.com (You might check www.bajanomad.com & www.bajainsider.com Cheryl)
b. Is it permitted to transport into Mexico frozen salmon? jebeddy2012@hotmail.com
c. Looking for camper/trailer to buy for recently purchased lot near Los Barriles. Will be in LB in mid-late November. danielwcoburn@gmail.com
d. Rental Wanted: Rental Wanted house or apartment 2 or 3 bedrooms in LB or buena vista, or la rivera tomascruz97@hotmail.com
e. Curious, has anyone received a home visit from the La Paz Dept. of Water asking to see their Inapam or Old Age card? Cheryl bajaduck@bajaduck.com
d. Whew! Tons of conflicting info out there regarding one-time move of household items. Does anyone have any recent experience with this? Consulate here requires an appt. plus $127 to do the paperwork (is this really necessary, or can we just have the required list, copies of passport etc. with us when we cross?) Then, are we subject to possible import taxes at the crossing for things like a quad? (online says 17% import tax! but have also read that some folks aren’t charged at all?). Plan to cross at Mexicali – is this crossing any better/worse? Still trying to get an appt at the consulate for Permanent Residency card, but not sure this will be completed before leave. If we come in on just the standard FM, 6 mo. “tourist” Visa, are we allowed to bring in household items? For any amount they do impose at the border, we assume it needs to be in pesos? Since they specify only “used’ items can be brought in, I assume I just need to remove original packaging and price tags on the few new things I have purchased new…? Any other advice anyone can offer is much appreciated! Beth & Doug at travelbybeth@comcast.net.
