Bringing a Drone into Mexico: What's the Law?

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Good information, Matt. The guy who stayed above us at Casa Linda was flying one. I bet Ali was happy to see you. Watch that drinking and droning!🍺🍺🍻

@@TomandJulieMineExploring thanks! I'm a bad enough sober drone driver.

We got caught bringing ours in a couple years ago. Same drone that you have (maybe a prior model). Anyway, as a precaution we even brought our receipt showing the value ($400) and they made us pay a “tax” which was the equivalent of $75 US. Lucky you! At least they didn’t confiscated it.

Thanks for sharing. The law seems pretty clear, but you just don't know if the person checking your luggage will follow the law or force a "tax" on you. We've been lucky to have mostly good experiences coming through customs.
