I think your company slipped up a bit there Joe. They should have had a
well connected local agent with an expense account that was not too closely
audited...
Every boat had a PeMex agent assigned to the boat. He lived on the
boat, did all our shopping, radio work ie: translations, ect.. You had
no choice and I'm sure they had incentives to report imports. Plus it's
hard to sneek a 72" 5 bladed brass prop across the border.

Hello Mike,
I had to deal with the same issues while working for State Boat Corp
in the Bay of DeCampchee Mexico. We bent a 35,000 dollar propellor and
had to get a new one in a hurry. Mexico was kind enough to charge us a
100% import tax. From then on, any of the state boats that went to work
for PeMex carried two spare props and two spare shafts. Be careful if
you are bringing a pistol or bullits!
