<p>Having said that, I think it is hit-and-miss at customs anywhere. </p>
<p>It also says there is an additional duty-free exemption of US$500. I brought a 10-year old blender with me once. I had kept the original box so it was well protected. I got hit for duty because the aduana agent said, “If an item is in the original box we assume it is for resale, not for personal use.”</p>
<p>A friend brought me a few electronic items. He had receipts for everything showing he was well under US$500 except a used Apple TV (not in the box).  He was charged M$1500 duty on the Apple TV.  </p>
<p>Both of these happened at ZIH arrival. I have never had an issue arriving at MEX.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>8/24/2024<br />
IF by chance anyone knows (or knew) them, or if they themselves see this.<br />
I wanted to contact the couple I met, (probably was before the Pandemia),<br />
in which the wife worked at the GUILD Guitar factory.</p>
<p>And, IF by chance someone has a high end acoustic guitar they may be able to bring down to sell, I'm in the market.<br />
The ONLY brands I'm considering are:<br />
Guild, Breedlove, Gibson, Taylor, Takamine, Yamaha.</p>
<p>Lastly, has anyone brought a quality guitar down to Z, just for personal use on a trip?<br />
If so: Was there any MX Customs charge on it?</p>
