Can someone answer the following : I am arriving by boat from Chetumal. I intend to purchase a new sewing machine and possibly some other new in box items in Mexico. When I arrive at customs it just a simple procedure : The customs agent looks at the receipt and then taxes the new item(s) at various rates for each particular item. Makes out a bill. I pay it and off I go ???. > And now lets talk about used items : say for example I go to a pawn shop in Canada and buy a used $500.00 chain saw for $100.00 and they give me a receipt for $100.00 Is the Customs agent going to tax me on the $100.00 I paid or declare it a $500.00 chain saw and tax me accordingly ?? Thank You in advance for your replies........
