Dedicated end-to-end support for Chinese brands entering Mexico’s $54 billion ecommerce market. From entity formation through your first container clearing customs.
Mexico is the United States’ #1 trading partner, the largest Spanish-speaking economy, and the fastest-growing ecommerce market in Latin America. For Chinese brands, it represents a massive opportunity to reach 130 million consumers — but the regulatory and operational barriers are significant.
Mexico imposed a 19% surcharge on courier/postal imports — hitting Chinese direct-to-consumer sellers hardest. Importing through your own entity avoids this entirely.
Clothing, textiles, and footwear face some of Mexico’s highest tariff rates. Proper classification and entity-based importing can significantly reduce your effective rate.
Chinese COAs (Certificates of Analysis) don’t directly translate to Mexican regulatory requirements. Bridging this documentation gap requires specialized expertise.
Electronics require NOM safety certifications. Textiles need composition and labeling compliance. Each product category has different standards.
Mexico has closed the “border-skipping” loophole. Cross-border ecommerce packages now face full inspection and duty assessment.
All government processes (SAT, COFEPRIS, INM, IMPI) are in Spanish. Mexican banks require in-person KYC that’s difficult to navigate remotely from China.
Everything you need, managed by our local team in Mexico City.
