They normally declare a low value since these are demo units I receive to make videos and manuals for, but this time they forgot and it was declared as over 1000 USD, which is a kind of "threshold for customs attention" here in Mexico. The result was that due to a new law from August 2020, customs was requiring that I pay all the necessary licensing papers so that my rack with two modules inside could be legally imported, and it came to over 3000 Euros total. Luckily I was able to find a knowledgeable customs agent who managed to reclassify the package as "parts for synthesizers" rather than a complete synth, and after a few weeks in expensive storage, the import fees and the agent's own fees, ended up costing 700 euros to release. Expensive, but it was still worth it to Erica to pay, rather than abandon and ship me a new box with a low declared value.<div>Lesson learned!</div><div>Any electronics entering Mexico with a declared value over 1k usd is likely to get stopped and possibly the NYCE certification will be required.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 5:09 AM Roman Sowa <<a href="mailto:modular@go2.pl" target="_blank">modular@go2.pl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Not only radiated emissions count, but also conducted - via power cable <br>
