Let me start by listing some major wholesalers and manufacturers here on the American side of the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas. I would guess you all will end up buying 97% of what you need on this side of the border after you weigh everything up. I have know the people on this El Paso
There are about 8 or 10 various Big Wholesalers here in El Paso that sell a lot of Mexican Gift Products, Clothing, Furniture of All Kinds.. & Cowboy Boots: Tony Lama, Cowtown, Champion Boots, J.B. Hill, Justin, all have big wholesale Stores here. El Paso has cheap hotel rates, good food, sunshine, gambling , clubs, wholesale shopping, great Juarez "entertainment". Whatever you want can probably be gotten here in this beautiful, exciting, HOT bordertown!!! Come enjoy a relaxed Open attitude place. You'll Always Have FUN in El Paso.. We have lots of customers that come to El Paso at least once a month to stock up ... You'll love it !!
There is usually a very little wait in line to cross into Mexico, but can be up to an hour and a half. I would say 30 to 45 minute wait would be average depending on the time of the day. Last summer people were passing out from heat until finally they put up some canvas for shade. Trust me, you don't want to drive or take your car into Mexico. Your best bet is to walk over and back in the day. Food is much better and safer on the El Paso side. It's the same culture on this side. El Paso is about 85% Hispanic and much of the population does not speak English. In Juarez, Don't trust taxi drivers, police, or people coming up to you wanting to be a guide or pimp or something (??) Stay on the main streets and watch for crowds of kids playing very close to you or who come up in a group, keep your back to a wall always. Watch if someone accidentally spills something on you and someone rushes to help you. Don't buy gold or silver jewelry. In the "good old days", Juarez Ave. in Juarez was a jumping, good time, busy place. Now most of the "Strip" (Juarez Ave.) is Pharmacies, Shoe Stores, dangerous Disco and Bars that cater to underage American kids and many buildings are vacant and crumbling. There are lots of drug dealers and gang activity. HOWEVER there are some small time curio and souvenir dealers:
Av. 16th de Septiembre (about a one and half mile walk) This place attracts some tourist and you have a bunch of phony "want-to-be exporters" in the market that knows nothing about all the International documentation required to cross the merchandise. This could be a Big Problem for you. Always, check with your Customs Brokers before buying anything to Export!! All merchandise entering the U.S. must be clearly stamped and marked "Made in Mexico" CUAUHTEMOC MARKET...Juarez, Chih, Mexico 2 blocks west on Ave. 16 de Septiembre from the intersection of Ave. Juarez and Ave 16 de Setiembre. The City Market is for tourist, this markets is for the locals. Open air market for meat, chickens, fish, fruit ect. El Patio...Large outdoor store & market featuring low end furniture and tile.. Cheap flower pots, plaster animals Ave. Lincoln # 787 ..Juarez, Mexico Tel. 13-85-07
Pueblito Mexicano Mall
J.J. Market
Decor Casa Mendoza ( behind the City Market ) Tel 12-03-04 One of the better places to buy ceramic Ashtrays, Dishes, Mexican Toys and Dolls. Always be honest with your receipts as Customs Agents will know the Market Value of most Arts & Crafts.. Juarez Pharmacies (Farmacias) ... Drugs (the legal ones) are often 25-40% less in Mexico than in the U.S. Prescriptions are not needed for things like Tagamet and antibiotics. Most are made by Mexican subsidiaries of large multinational pharmaceuticals so quality control is good. There seems to be Farmacia on every corner. U.S. Customs regulations state that you can only cross the amount of a prescription for personal use back into the U.S. and that you should have a copy of the prescription.
Beware of Mexican Police and the Mexican Custom Inspectors as you are both entering and leaving Mexico. Repeat!! I suggest you DO NOT drive your car into Mexico, but if you should, it's a good idea to scrub your car tires and wheels before you cross back into the U.S. (If a dog in Mexico should pee on your car tires, it can drive the Drug Sniffing dogs crazy and you could be in for a long hassle with the American Inspectors. DO NOT take pets into Mexico, DO NOT wear watch or jewelry, Keep money in your front pocket, DO NOT take Guns into Mexico or you are in big trouble. I have tried to be fair, objective, and honest in this newsletter. You should always be extra careful in border towns like El Paso, Tijuana, Laredo or Nogales. If you ever plan to be an Importer you need to learn Spanish and the customs of a different country.
