Buying bongos in Mexico - Is it a good idea?

[buckoh]

A good friend of mine will be in Mexico City in a few weeks and I wondered if he could get me a good deal on some Pan Con Queso or Columbian Percussion bongos. Anybody got any ideas about this? Any restrictions or possible problems? He'll be flying. Thanks, Buck

Hola Buck, I don't think that he should have any problem. The 07 El Piernas I have was brought by a friend from Colombia to N.Y and then send to P.R via USPS. The times I have been to South or Central America when doing U.S custom forms,they only ask if the items you bought are over an amount of money then you may have to pay a fee. You may contact TwinsBongo,he has the phone of a Colombian Guy who usually brings CP Bongos from Colombia.
