We need to tell members that are planning to go fishing in Mexico (Cedros Island or Cabo for instance) that there are new tariff regulations.
A tourist is allowed to bring in four fishing sets (rod and reel) tax free. All rods and reels over the four-set limit are subject to a 19% tariff.
So, a $1000 Accurate ATD will result in a $190.00 tax. Fishermen arriving at Cabo to go big game fishing have been hit with bills over $500.
