TRAVELING TO MEXICO:

To re-enter the United States, U.S. and Canadian citizens must have Passports or Photo I.D.'s (birth certificates are okay for minors). Resident Aliens must have their Resident Alien Card. All other non-U.S. citizens should have a passport, with an I-94 departure record and multiple entry visa. For additional information, contact your local Immigration and Naturalization Service. U.S. currency and most major credit cards are accepted.

NEW PASSPORT RULES IN 2008:

Rules and regulations are changing constantly and we encourage all clients to possess a passport for re-entry into USA.

Please visit this link for more information: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative is a result of the Intelligence Reform and Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), requiring all travelers to present a passport or other document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S.

JANUARY 31, 2008
U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.

SUMMER 2008
At a later date, to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have either a U.S. passport; a U.S. passport card; a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI; a valid Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business; or a valid U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders.

The implementation date will be determined based on a number of factors, including the progress of actions undertaken by the Department of Homeland Security to implement the WHTI requirements and the availability of WHTI compliant documents on both sides of the border. DHS and DOS expect the date of full WHTI implementation to be in the summer of 2008. The precise implementation date will be formally announced with at least 60 days notice.

2007 Passport Requirements:

United States Citizens visiting Mexico's Border Cities

U.S. citizens should carry proof of citizenship such as a passport or birth certificate.
The best document to prove your U.S. citizenship is a valid U.S. passport. Other documents that establish U.S. citizenship include an expired U.S. passport, a certified copy of your birth certificate, a Certificate of Naturalization, a Certificate of Citizenship, or a Report of Birth Abroad of a U.S. citizen. Note, proof of your citizenship is usually not required if you have a valid photo ID.
To prove your identity, either a valid driver' s license or a government identification card that includes a photo or physical description is acceptable.

US Resident Aliens

A valid US resident alien card is required to re-enter the US.

Canadian Citizens Visiting Mexico Border Cities and re-entering the US

Citizens of Canada are exempt from the visa and passport requirement of Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(a)(7). To enter the United States, a Canadian citizen must be able to establish both identity and citizenship. Documents that may establish citizenship are: birth certificate, citizenship certificate, and passport. Although the INS Immigration Inspector may accept an oral declaration of citizenship, it is recommended that a Canadian citizen carry a document that establishes citizenship. Under current procedures, all travelers may be required to present photo-identification.

Citizens of other countries visiting the US who re-enter the US through Mexico Border Cities

Passports with valid Visa and an I-94 form are required for re-entering the US.

Customs Rules and Regulations

You may bring back through US Customs $800.00 worth of articles "duty free" for personal use only. Keep your receipts. Adults may include one liter of alcohol, 50 cigars and 200 cigarettes.

Illegal Items

Fireworks

Tips for Clearing Customs

Don't make jokes about contraband or illegal activities!
Retain receipts in case customs requests them.
Know what is prohibited or controlled!
No photos or use of cell phones are allowed at the border crossing areas!
