Customs
Mexico allows duty-free postal imports up to 50 USD (~48 €). Above this threshold, IVA (VAT) of 16% and customs duty per HS code (typically 10–35%) apply. Shipments above 1,000 USD require a formal customs declaration and a licensed customs agent (agente aduanal). Mexico's customs authority (SAT/Aduanas) is known for unpredictable inspections — approximately 15–20% of parcels are physically examined.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
