USD 10,000+

Full rule

USD 10,000+ equivalent must be declared (standard Mexican rule; not on the opened page)

Depends on: air/sea vs land distinction (holiday-season uplift for land); border-zone residents have their own limits; family quotas may be combined when traveling together per other ANAM pages

Good to know

6L wine + 3L spirits is generous; franquicia excess can be self-assessed and paid at a flat rate at the airport kiosk
