Customs & documentation for Mexico

Mexico applies customs duty on imported goods valued over US0 for personal shipments. Import tax rates vary from 0–35% depending on the product category. Mexico also charges 16% IVA (VAT) on imports. All shipments require a customs declaration (CN23) and the recipient's RFC (tax ID) for commercial goods.

Mexican customs (SAT) can be slow, with clearance taking 3–10 business days for economy services. Using a courier with customs brokerage (DHL, FedEx) significantly speeds up the process. Personal gifts marked clearly as such may receive faster clearance.
