Airport customs

They keep looking at my wife’s silver jewelry which we bought in Mexico. I have been polite, stood my ground and been lucky so far. One nice necklace is even in a Ruby’s Jewelry box, how can you charge importation tax on something bought there? Next trip the wife will put on the necklace before we exit the plane and limit what else she brings. Waiting for them to start changing tax on wedding rings. January I will be bringing in a few household goods as gifts that are well under the limit. We will see how that goes.

Nothing smarter than driving tourists away when your economy depends on tourism. It appears that Zihuatanejo only wants national tourists to visit their Pueblo Mágico. Certainly not going to add on an extra flight to avoid Zihuatanejo customs, plenty of other places to go out and discover. With all the searching Cabo can clear 20 planes before Zihua can clear 1. It would be much nicer if Zihua would just make up some phony tax like Cancun is attempting. At least it wouldn’t take over an hour to clear 1 plane. Somehow I am sure this is all due to poor U. S. policies.
