Two colleagues have said that I might need a signed statement that I will be bringing the equipment out, but I cannot find anything specific online or in this forum?
Does anyone here know the answer to this? Any advice appreciated.
There are so many variables involved that no one here can possibly give you a definitive answer. You really must contact the Mexican embassy/consulate in London (my assumption is you are in London) for the most current and accurate regulations and their application to your situation.
Depending upon your citizenship status and the length and type of trip you will probably not need a visa but you might need a letter from your client to the immigration authorities requesting your visit.
Typically one can bring business tools/equipment into the country no problem but specific tools/equipment might have limitations or restrictions including documentation that the equipment has left the country.
Again, the only way to know for sure is to contact the customs "Aduana" folks at the embassy/consulate before you go. If you do need the letter from your client that typically takes a week to process so do not delay.
