Importing to the Mexico: is it actually cheaper?
We haven't priced individual products for Mexico yet — but the checker works on any Mexico product link right now: paste one and we read its price, match our US price of record, and do the landed-cost math below. Here's how importing to Mexico works.
How importing to the Mexico works
- Import VAT
- 16% on the US price + shipping (CIF), above a $875 de-minimis threshold.
- Duty
- 0% — US-origin electronics are 0% duty under the WTO ITA + USMCA — a real forwarder charged 0% duty + only 16% IVA on an iPhone. Shipments ≤ US$50 clear duty + IVA free; US$50–117 duty-free but 16% IVA. Caveat: under Mexico's 2026 courier reform, a package cleared without proper ITA/USMCA classification can face 17–33.5% — so keep the origin documentation.
- Forwarding
- America Ship, from the US — about 3-8 days.
- FX
- $18.6/USD mid-market + 3% card spread, as of 2026-10-22. Rates By Exchange Rate API
