Well, I don't do Mexico anymore because of the appalling way they treat US 
citizens, but that's political, and I won't digress.  I do remember that you 
can stop on our side of the border and ask for a list of what produce is 
allowed back in the country.  I don't think that dried chilies have any 
restrictions, especially if they are packaged.
