nationalizing a US plated vehicle

Can't Post | Private Reply

We live in southern Quintana Roo near the Chetumal/Belize border. Our US plated car turns 10 years old this year and should be able to be nationalized this year. Has anyone recently been successful with nationalizing a car at the Mexico/Belize border?

You could contact the Aduana office outside Chetumal, at the border with the Free Zone of Corozal, Belize to get the word straight from the horse's mouth: In the article, What Can I Bring into Mexico: Mexican Customs Rules ,there is a Map of Aduanas del Pais with a list of all Aduana offices, hours of operations, and contact information.

Aduana will tell you that you need the services of a customs broker.

The last time I was at that border the offices of the 2 brokers in Santa Elena were closed. When you find a broker please pass along that information here. I might need one soon.

A friend of mine near Tulum Q Roo had a 1998 blazer in her husbands name. He passed away recently and she hired a broker in Chetumal to nationalize the car in her name. Cost $1800 US and took about 6 months before she got the new plate. The plate was for Tamualipas state not Q Roo. Maybe becasue they initially brought it in thru Tam.?

It cost so much that in most cases is not worth it

Can you share the contact information (or at least the name) for the customs broker in Chetumal?
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay but I just got the info on the customs broker in Chetumal.
I did not use him, someone I know did.
