Mexico

Anyone entering or leaving Mexico carrying a combined amount strictly more than US$10,000 equivalent — cash, domestic or foreign cheques, payment orders, any other documents receivable, or a combination — must declare to customs; exactly US$10,000 does not trigger the duty. On entry use the «Declaración de Aduana para pasajeros procedentes del extranjero»; on exit the «Declaración de dinero, salida de pasajeros». If the >US$10,000 answer is yes, additionally complete the detailed «Declaración de Internación o Extracción de Cantidades en Efectivo y/o Documento por Cobrar». The captured arrival form says that this detailed form may be requested from customs staff at ports of entry. Carrying the amount is legal; non-declaration is fined 20–40% of the excess, with imprisonment and forfeiture for larger unreported or illicit-origin amounts.

Arrival only, conditional: the ANAM passenger customs declaration asks whether the traveller carries taxable merchandise additional to baggage and franquicia; when yes, it records the goods and their value. Franquicia itself is a US$500-equivalent exemption for goods other than baggage entering by land, air or sea, which a family declaring together may pool; alcoholic beverages, manufactured tobacco and motor fuel are excluded. Baggage and goods within the allowance do not by themselves require a taxable-goods entry in the arrival declaration; the official form still says to complete the passenger declaration in full. Qualifying excess goods may be taxed at the 19% global rate where value excluding the allowance is no more than US$3,000 (US$4,000 including computer equipment).
