Customs at ZIH!

I'm always amazed at the amount of difficulties a lot of travelers have had at Zihua airport customs. We have gone through there for fifteen of the past seventeen years on our visits, and the amount of time in customs has decreased practically every trip, with last January setting a new personal speed record I'm sure! We each have a large suitcase plus two carry-ons each time. Last year, we did get stopped about five minutes for some metal hand weights in a suitcase that triggered the x-ray machine, but those were cleared quickly by an agent who even tried them out a bit! We never bring in any "questionable" items, act quickly and politely, and expect no issues. So have all the customs agents turned into a-holes in the past twelve months?

In the 20+ years we've coming down, we've generally gotten through without any problems. I had some beef jerky taken once and for a large box of used eyeglasses I was bringing down for distribution to the needy, they wanted US$300.00 from me. I let them keep them.
