Shipping RE equipment to Mexico [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

<x-flowed>
Basically the same as Windy's response > on a recent Mexico job we 
did, the customer had us ship to a trucker/moving service on the US 
side and the trucker then took it to Mexico as a mixed load. The 
trucker then determines what is appropriate to ask for in terms of 
duties/import fees.   For small jobs this can work.

Also offlist I'll send you a Mexico solar contact who may be able to 
help from that side.

cheers,

Jeff C.
