    You can demonstrate the value of the merchandise that is part of the franchise with invoices or sales receipts. In case of not having these, the customs personnel will be able to determine the value of the merchandise

    ONLY IF the goods in question are susceptible to the import tax, in Hasans case they were not, if anyone’s ignoring anything its you: general duty 0%, tax exempt, reading comprehension is very important

    Ok it’s clear now that you don’t have theory of mind

    You seem to like using terms you don’t understand, yet you struggle with basic concepts like the equipment is TAX EXEMPT he didn’t have to declare them thru a Ata carnet as my links demonstrated

    It was to show you that customs people in any country can and will assign any value when they catch you lying on what is being brought in

    Wtf does that have to do with hasans situation, he didn’t bring in a quantity that violated the tax emeption clauses and he wasn’t lying about not selling his personnel belongings, he also wasn’t allowed to the prove the true value of the products, you like talking about “theory of mind” yet the only mind you seem to be considering is that of a corrupt customs official despite the fact they violated the tax emeption rules

      THEN TRY READING YOU TWIT:

      "Goods that you may bring into Mexico without paying taxes

      Franchise

      Depending on the means of transport you enter Mexico, foreign nationals can bring with them merchandise without paying taxes, in addition to their personal luggage. By air the franchise is up to $500 US dollars and by land is up to $300 US dollar.

      The excess to which each member of the family is entitled can accumulate if they travel together in the same means of transport, except if they are a resident of the strip or border region.

      You can demonstrate the value of the merchandise that is part of the franchise with invoices or sales receipts. In case of not having these, the customs personnel will be able to determine the value of the merchandise. With your franchise you cannot introduce alcoholic drinks, carved tobaccos, automotive fuel, except that which is contained in the fuel tank of your vehicle."

      The monitor that he brought was more than 500 dollars and not part of what is allowed in personal luggage. He did not declare it which is what made the situation suspicious for customs. Hasan thought that he could skip the ATA Carnet by just saying that the monitors were under $500 but that clearly did not work out for him. Even on sale some of these triple monitor setups are still over $500. He even admitted to knowing the law beforehand. So why is this noteworthy in any way. A customs agent went $300 over average price so Hasan had to pay an extra $59 in tax because he couldn’t be bothered to get the ATA Carnet. BIG WOOPTY FUCKING DO.

        If you exceed this exemption or if your family’s combined amount exceeds the combined exemption, but the value of the goods does not surpass three thousand dollars, there is a flat 15% rate of duties and taxes, which is applied only to the amount exceeding the exemption (individual or combined). You must fill out a payment form, which is available at the Customs counter

        The monitor has it own specific tax exemption you stupid fuck, what do you think general duty 0% refers to? Franchise applies to goods intended for sale, do you not understand what the phrase “in addition to personal belongings” means? Those are covered separately by different codes, do you seriously believe every single person who enters Mexico with a laptop or computer product over 500 dollars has to pay a 57 dollar tax you dumb fuck unless they apply for a Ata document

        If that was true they wouldn’t have bothering accusing him of trying sell his shit, context clues they’re kinda obvious in this case

        Read the code carefully and don’t jump to assumptions

          It’s clear you have not read any of what I have said. The $57 is the difference between the actual cost of the monitor and the value set by the customs agent (190-133@19% tax as Hasan stated). Also taxes are still allowed to be added to imported goods under free trade agreements. Even using the website you linked they still added a VAT tax even when the duty tax is 0%. And that’s ignoring the mandatory import tax of 19% when shipping goods valued from 117 USD to 1,000 USD (oh look at that, its the same rate that he was charged). Again all of this could have been avoided if he got an ATA Carnet which is a guarantee that the goods listed will return to the home country.

            Number one the VAT doesn’t apply because the specific product is tax exempt when labeled under personnel belongings, second he didn’t import anything under a shipping code because again its personal belongings, third the 57 tax only applies if he intended to sell his stuff, which is why instead of just informing of a customs tax on personal electronics they had to accuse him of trying to sell his shit

            Hence the quote of 1000 thousand dollars and not 3000 thousand which is the limit of the personal belonging tax exemption, because they knew they could only dismiss the tax exemption and get paid by labeling his stuff under a separate clause, you on the other hand are conflating all the clauses because you dont realize personal belongings and franchise are different categories with different tax duties

            Your incorrect interpretation of the code doesn’t even gel with the actions of the custom officials themselves, laptops and monitors are listed in same category as phones yet they didn’t apply a fuckin vat tax to his phone or the phones of the American tourists who arrived with him, common sense and careful reading should have made this obvious to you

                Because that’s listed under “or similar” and “with its accessories” you dunce, hence the 0% general duty tax when you look up the monitor category specifically along with cpu’s, wouldn’t make much sense differentiating between laptops which have monitors and cpu’s and individual separate monitors and cpu’s

                Which again for the fourth fuckin time is why they had to accuse him of trying the sell his shit instead of just informing him of a vat tax which doesn’t exist

                That’s why you have to read goverment codes very carefully because theyre designed to be confusing

                  What a weasly little liar dude. The “or similiar” is only mentioned in regards to electronic notepads and it’s seperated with a semicolon. The accessories are mentioned with regard to portable projectors (like lenses and power adapters); the accessories of sail boats; the accessories of DVD players; the accessories of musical instruments. What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously.

                    a laptop, notebook, omni book or similar

                    lmao you seriously think that “or similar” is only referring to the omni book, are you serious? Also just what do think the possible accessories for a DVD burner and portable projector are, think and use common sense for one second you dunce

                    Honestly dude shut the fuck up already, I’ve repeated the basic facts of personal belongings tax exemption over and over and you have ignored all of it to peddle pedantic nonsense over an incomplete translated list of examples provided by a summary of the relevant code

                    You were wrong and you didn’t know what you were talking about, get the fuck over it, instead of convincing yourself Mexican custom are actaully charging tourists vat taxes for dozens of potential products in their luggage
