Services at Marina Vallarta
Import permit and entry
Temporary import permit
ANAM lists a temporary import permit for boats over 4.5 m, valid 10 years with multiple entries and exits. The cost is USD 45 plus IVA online and USD 51 plus IVA at CIITEV modules and consulates. The permit needs proof of ownership or a charter or lease contract with owner authorisation.
Marina holds the documents
The ANAM FAQ says that if the owner is not aboard, the marina must hold the import documents. The imported boat cannot be sold or transferred (Customs Law, Article 105).
New requirements
From 1 January 2025 a foreign-resident importer must present a statement from a Mexican resident who accepts joint liability for tax debts. Return needs a foreign port authority document. ANAM cites Rule 4.2.11 of the 2025 General Foreign Trade Rules.
