Stopped us and checked our TIP and driver’s passport. Also looked in the van and opened our bags. The officer was friendly and only took 5 mins.

Impressive infrastructure like a modern border control, they check all my papers including TIP and check the interior of my camper. They were very nice and spoke to me in french!

Road forces you to enter this check. Photographs your car and took a quick look at passports and car info. Very nice. Took 5 minutes and sent us ahead.

On our way north to Comitán we had to drive through the inspection zone. No way around. They checked our passports and the TIP and had a quick look at the car. It was guardian Nacional and they were really friendly.

North bound traffic only, driving away from Guatemala. Did not stop us or the car in front of us.

Going north on highway 190 you must pass through this inspection point. They asked to see our vehicle permit, passports, and took a quick look in our van.

It was like a proper border crossing. Cameras, automatic gates. Aduana agent stopped us to see our van importation papers and pasports. But friendly and professional.

They only checked to see if we had any alcohol and cigarrettes with us. We did (couple of beers) they didn’t mind.
A short look into the car and we could drive on.
Nobody looked for fruits or vegetables.

Thi is not a road-side stop, but a big sophisticated and hi-tech facility for vehicle checking. We had a document check and a short search through the vehicle (north-bound). Very polite and professional. A lot of heavily armed soldiers around.

We come from Guatemala and the inspector asked if we had fruits and vegetables. Said don't is allowed entering to Mexico bringing this products. We had only one banana and we had no problems but there is a list of products forbidden that can be confiscated. In case if you have it, say it you was buy in Mexico near to the border...
