How do I export my Notes data from my Mexico Apple ID and import to my US Apple ID

Thanks Richard. I'm not angry at you. I will try what you've suggested.

I feel that Apple has made some intentional choices here which make sense from their financial best interests, but leave us users frustrated.

Geofencing their app stores is something that gives Apple control of their ecosystem in a way that is very convenient for them and makes them a lot of money. But for instance, I bought some expensive Pro apple software with my Mexico id I can't transfer to my US id. If I change the country on that ID, I lose all the software I bought in the other App Store. My notes are also trapped in that ID. It's just not good experience design.

The industry standard is for companies (except Apple?) to provide a way to migrate data when needed, even to rival software companies.

It makes me sad that it would seem that our best recourse to go to when something goes wrong with Apple software is to rely on other users and forums. Other software companies have paid staff reading the comments in their forums and providing official responses. I thought Apple did as well.

I apologize for my tone. Thanks for your help. I'll reply with an update after I try your suggestion.

Well, sadly I couldn't just backup, and restore my Mexican id's notes folder to replace the US one, even after unlinking Notes from iCloud. I had copied the contents of the folder into a zip file and then logged out. The log-out process deleted all the notes. Putting the files back from my zip file backup didn't make them re-appear. The database apparently stores the owner of those notes. I also tried to import the notes from the Notes file menu, to no avail.

I will see if I can get a refund for my app purchases with the Mexican store, and re-buy the software on the US id. Logic Pro X, MainStage, Final Cut Pro, are just a few of the apps. Otherwise I will continue to have to use both ids, as I am currently.

thanks for your help.
