Once you’ve made the purchase of your Los Cabos dream house, you may need a moving company to help you out. A company like Columbia Export Group (bottom) 38 Los Cabos Magazine | Winter 2016 from top: COURTESY COLUMBIA EXPORT; FRANCISCO ESTRADA can assist in big moves. The border broker won’t cross your belongings until you’ve had your resident visa stamped here in Los Cabos. So once your property reaches the border, it is held and will stay in limbo until you get to Los Cabos and have your papers processed. All goods brought in under the menaje must be used items. If you have even one or two new items purchased for the move, it will delay your shipment and may result in a fine. You can learn more about the menaje at www.sat .gob.mx/aduanas/pasajeros/Paginas /Menaje_casa.aspx. Your pets are more than welcome to make the move with you, but you will need to bring a current health certificate showing their vaccinations; this certificate must be issued by your veterinarian no more than 30 days prior to travel. All of this may seem like a lot of work, but the expats we consulted all agreed that making the move was worth it. After all, it’s the biggest adventure of your life. So, what are you waiting for? Y Carol Billups is broker-owner of Cabo Realty Pros in Cabo San Lucas. She can be reached at (624) 147-7541 or on her website, www.caborealtypros.com. And, yes, her wedding china and crystal are still in their shipping containers in Los Cabos even after all these years.
