Huatulco (La Crucecita) - Clearance

Nov 01, 2018

See Mexico Formalities page for full details.

It is possible to clear in here,  but if this is your first Mexican port it requires driving 2.5 hours to the Banjercito in Salina Cruz for the Temporary Import Permit (TIP). The paperwork needs to be completed there and then you have to return the next day for the TIP.

Once you have received this documentation, go to the Port Captain to complete the check in process. Customs and immigration will meet you there.

The Marina, however, cannot assist with zarpes or clearance out of the country. After obtaining proof that your marina bill is paid, you must go to the Port Captain in Santa Cruz, then to the bank, then to Immigration, then to Customs (with perhaps another bank visit). Customs make arrangements to inspect your boat. You will need to start all these several days in advance of your anticipated weather window for the Tehuantepec if you are going south.</P

The Port Captain and Customs are only open 09:00-17:00 on weekdays. Immigration office closes at 13:00.
