Easy as 1-2-3

Look at how easy it is to move my stuff to MX.

Hi Kylee,
I'm doing great, how are you? How are you, ready to move to Cabo? Regarding your personal belongings, this is what you need to do once you have your FM-3:

For shipments into Mexico , the Mexican consulate requires that you make a list of everything you are shipping, including the serial numbers of all your electrical appliances. Number each cardboard box, listing the contents of each, and leave three copies of the list with the consulate. Then pay the required fee.

FM3 status is the one-time opportunity to import up to $5,000 worth of personal household items duty-free. Because all of your things are used, you can place a low value on the lot and you can easily stay under the limit.

The Consul closest to where you lived before, will have to approve the itemized list of goods. This itemized list MUST include the value, and, with anything electronic/appliance include the make, model and serial #. Itemized means 6 cups and saucers etc., not "dishes". The list starts with a letter format identifying who you are, where you are moving these things from and where in Mexico you are moving them to.

When you submit it to the Consul, you will need to include your FM3 and passport, along with the fee. Once this list is approved, you can ship/bring the stuff in Duty Free.

Once you've done this, you can ship the items to either of the import/export companies we use:
