I am headed through Cabo enroute to a Socorro liveaboard at the end of March, beginning of April 2025. I have a Canon R5 and Nauticam housing (plus all the ports, accessories, etc for it) which I plan to take with me. It is a personal use camera and housing, not engaged in any business or professional activity of photography and videography. I think we've all read the horror stories of being held up by customs in Cabo regarding underwater camera housing taxation. I have heard it is a good idea to have a packet of receipts for equipment on hand to argue down the value of your equipment for tax purposes.
A carnet seems like it will be cheaper than whatever they want to charge me in Cabo without a carnet. My question is, if I have a carnet for my equipment, will Cabo honor the carnet as they are supposed to?
Does anyone have recent experience here or any other advice for me?
