Refer to http://www.paisano.gob.mx/pasaduana.htm and to http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/dtwhatstuff.html to determine what may be imported duty-free and how duty is imposed.<p>If you have the FM-3, you may be eligible to apply for the one-time duty-free permit to temporarily import your household goods and personal effects.<p>Each airline has its own rules for baggage allowances and excess, so you should check with the airline.<p>

: How many boxes can carry an airline ?<p>Until you have your fm3 you are restricted to a 12" tv. Check out the Seattle consulate (thru mex con? or Ajijic immigration?) for more info. p1 of 2. Sometimes airlines accept boxes; sometimes they don't. July 2001 we went to Belize on Cont w/ 2 boxes. Belizan woman on Am could not take hers. Our gear will be stored in a truckk/van registered to our son and stored in Tx until we get our fm3. We will take in very little junque, moststly for dog and cat. Hope this helps.
