My stepson and daughter-inlaw and grandson lost everything in the flood in San Jose. We are planning to take them some used furniture next week. If possible I would like to use my stock trailer to haul the stuff. I was wondering if I can use my trailer. My wife is a citizen of Mexico if that makes any difffference. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Buckster

The only problems that we have heard of is regarding used clothing. Mexico does not allow used clothing to be brought in for any reason.
As long as the value on everything is under $1000 USD you can pay the importation taxes at the border and bring it down.

re your truck and trailer. San Jose is in the free zone so you shouldn't need a permit for either. You do need an FMT if you don't have some other type of visa. I would also do a REALLY, REALLY good cleanup of the trailer before leaving, not for going down but for getting the trailer back into the US. Generally speaking, animal products are not allowed across the border and all that "stuff" in a normal stock trailer definitely falls under the category of animal product.
