Clearing in at ports

Liability insurance
Proof of funds (this seems to be becoming more popular as a request)
Health insurance
Equipment list (serial numbers of engine(s), outboards, radios, computers, cameras, any other similar "high value" items that Customs might be interested in).

Sounds about right

Be alert to crew list and nationality

I also carry an FBI crime report and proof of financial residency

In addition I carry the correct licenses

These days much pre arrival paperwork is digital

Research your trip and get the needed links

Go to noonsite. Every country is different. Every marina Pacific Mexico will require a copy of your Mexican liability insurance. You will also need a temporary import duty in addition to normal documents.

Also remember drugs

Not dope, prescription drugs

You must declare these

You need a list of drugs plus the relevant prescription , in the name of the person entitled to carry these drugs
