FM3 Stickers Checked Heading South

Can't Post | Private Reply

A poster on a Yahoo group just reported being questioned about the "expired" FM3/Tourist car permit at the first check point after crossing the border in Nuevo Laredo Beidge 2. Rolly's letter was prodeuced and all was ok.

Same thing at a new check point on the couta heading South.

I don't know what Rolly's letter is? I applied and got my FM# this year, and we'll be crossing the border after the expiration date on the car sticker. Is that a problem? Thanks!

Hi,

it is on Rolly's web site and is a copy of the Mexican that states the sticker is valid as long as your FM3 is current.

I just searched on Rolly's site under lots of different headings and I'm unable to find the letter. Can anyone direct me to it?

It's not a letter. She is referring to this: http://rollybrook.com/article_106.htm

Rolly,

Is this solely for FM3 holders or also for FM2? What is the difference in the stickers? I Did not think there was any difference.

this is interesting . . . . ARTiCLE 106. Temporary importation means the entry into the country of merchandise which will remain for a limited time and with a specific purpose, provided that it be returned to the exterior unaltered; for the following periods.

Does "Merchandise" refer only to cars? or maybe a televsion or house furnishings, etc.?

There is only one kind of sticker -- the same for everyone.

Despite the strange wording, Article 106 refers only to vehicles.
