Last month, a growing number of travelers were caught off guard by a Mexican customs rule that limits travelers to one portable computing device each. This rule considers both laptops and tablets as personal computing devices. However, travelers can bring up to two cellphones.
Although the regulation is not new, enforcement has increased recently, leading to public dissatisfaction. Travelers have used social media and other platforms to voice their concerns, prompting news coverage.
One traveler, Karen Bishop, shared her experience of paying approximately $100 at Cancun International Airport because she and her husband had each brought a laptop and an iPad on their trip.
