I personally wouldn't use gear from Mexico. I've seen enough cases of local and (nearly) systemic infections to stay clear of that stuff. There are enough local opportunities in the US (or wherever you may live) to avoid trafficking or importing gear across international borders.
Many newbies are frustrated by what appears to be a supply shortage. The reality is, it takes a bit of time to find a reliable source but realize, these are illegal drugs in many countries so of course it is going to require some effort. Eventually you will find what you need - just be patient. Pretty much everyone struggles initially but if others have found local sources, you can too.
I've only traveled internationally with gear twice. On both occasions, I had a script. On one occasion I was traveling to a country where corruption is common and I knew paying the customs officials would expedite my entry. I do not recommend transporting across borders. Others may say they have done it successfully but in general, rarely will I take those kinds of risks. For local/domestic travel, I ship supplies to my final destination.
