We brought our "Menaje de Casa" through the Tijuana Border and Customs (used a local broker) and the lists were in English and no one cared. Got it all done and passed with no problem, only thing couldn't pass were some dishes made in China.... I even brought industrial kitchen equipment and didn't pay any duty..... had a moving company pick it all up at the border and meet us.... not too bad and relatively quick too....
We're originally from San Diego...... and we go back and forth.
