A friend of mine, Loco Dice, also a well known, global spinning techno DJ had the same problem last year in Venezuela. They took one of his laptops and until now he did not get it back. It wont´t happen to you in europe though…

It’s likely due to tariffs, etc. on electronics. I live in Chile and while the cost of living is much cheaper than in the US, the price of electronics (and generally, everything that’s imported) is enormous, more than in the US (both straight up, and when considering the buying power of the currency). I have friends here who will buy computers and other gear when they travel to the US and then, upon flying home, will take everything out of the box and throw stickers and laptop covers on them, just to make it look like they didn’t buy it whilst out of the country. This is all to say that they were likely just making sure you weren’t bring in stuff to sell in Mexico for cheaper than the tariffs and MSRPs had been negotiated to.

It sucks, but that’s how things go when traveling to certain developing countries.
