Send Packages to Mexico

Welcome to MDE, your trusted partner for international parcel shipping. Below we provide a detailed guide on the characteristics, costs and key considerations when sending a package from Europe to Mexico. Our mission is to provide you with a transparent, efficient and secure shipping experience.

Proper packaging

  1. Packaging materials: We use sturdy boxes and cushioning materials such as bubble wrap, kraft paper or packing peanuts.
  2. Sealing: All boxes are wrapped in film and sealed with strong adhesive tape and labels.
  3. Reusable boxes: We try to reuse boxes whenever possible to minimise our environmental footprint.
  4. Repackaging: If you need to change the packaging of your goods, we are here to help.

We treat your goods as if they were our own!

Costs, times and shipping options

  • Carriers: We work exclusively with trusted and guaranteed carriers such as DHL, UPS, TNT, FedEx and other local carriers in each country where we operate.
  • Delivery addresses: You can ship to a home address or a carrier collection point.
  • Shipping costs: Find out about shipping rates based on the weight, size of the parcel and the chosen service. You can calculate shipping costs using the transport quoter.
  • Estimated delivery times:
    • Delivery times vary depending on the carrier and selected service.
    • On average, shipments from Europe to Mexico take between 5 and 10 business days.
  • Shipping options:
    • Standard delivery: Economical but with longer delivery times.
    • Multi-stop delivery: Combination of couriers with a stopover at a network warehouse to maximise your savings, with longer delivery times.

    • Optional premium insurance with full coverage based on the declared value of the parcel.

Restrictions and Regulations

Prohibited items: Mexico completely bans:

  • Drugs, precursors and psychotropics: absolute prohibition.
  • Firearms and ammunition without SEDENA permit: private import is de facto barred; includes loose ammunition and magazines.
  • Totoaba, ivory and CITES species without permits.

Restricted items: With regulation or prior permit:

  • Medicines: prescription and personal use; controlled ones need a COFEPRIS permit. Supplements usually pass, but COFEPRIS can demand analysis for large quantities.
  • Food and animal/plant products: SENASICA regulates fresh goods, seeds and meats; packaged processed goods rarely have issues.
  • Radio equipment: mass-market devices enter; powerful transmitters need CRT approval (the former IFT).
  • Vapes and e-cigarettes: import has been prohibited by decree since 2022; certain seizure.

Customs procedures

  • Package review: ANAM (Mexico's customs agency) applies the 2026 Foreign Trade General Rules, and what you pay depends on how your parcel enters: by postal mail (Correos in Spain to Correos de México) or by courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, Estafeta). Many figures online are outdated: this is the current picture.
  • By postal mail: If your parcel travels with Correos and is delivered by Correos de México, up to US$50 per recipient enters tax-free (no IGI, VAT or DTA), from any origin, Europe included. From US$50 to US$1,000 a single 19% global rate applies, with no customs broker. Does not apply to goods subject to non-tariff regulations or restrictions.
  • By courier from Europe: It is the fastest option. Up to US$2,500 per recipient you pay a 33.5% global rate on the value, which already includes the 16% VAT: it replaces IGI and VAT, it is not added on top. Example: a US$300 order pays about US$100.50.
  • General regime (large shipments): Above US$1,000 by postal mail or US$2,500 by courier (or regulated goods): IGI by tariff line + DTA + 16% VAT, with formal entry and broker. Most personal shopping never gets there.
  • Payment and timing: By courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS/Estafeta, 2-5 working days from Europe), the carrier calculates and collects the taxes on delivery or online, with no customs visits. By postal mail, if the 19% applies, you pay it so that Correos de México delivers the parcel.
  • Additional documentation: Invoice with the real value. Careful with undervaluation: ANAM cross-checks prices and a mismatched declaration kicks the parcel out of the simplified regime into delays.
  • MDE tip: The quoting tool shows you postal and courier options so you can choose: for small purchases, postal is usually the cheapest, taxes included; courier is the fastest. Buying from US stores? Our US warehouse gets USMCA treatment: up to US$50 free of IGI and VAT, 17% up to US$117 and 19% above.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to Mexico

What items cannot be sent to Mexico?

Explosives, illegal drugs, firearms, perishable foods or fresh food without special permits from COFEPRIS cannot be sent.

Do I need to declare the contents and value of the package?

Yes, it is mandatory to declare the contents and actual value of the package, with a specific description (descriptions such as "gift" or "miscellaneous items" rule out the simplified regime). The declared value sets the tax: by postal mail, tax-free up to US$50 and 19% up to US$1,000; by courier from Europe, 33.5%. And you must comply with all applicable regulations.

What happens if my package contains restricted items?

If the package contains restricted items, such as medications or food, additional permits from COFEPRIS or the Secretariat of Health may be required. Products without the appropriate permits may be held.

What additional costs can I expect when sending a package to Mexico?

It depends on the channel. By postal mail (Correos to Correos de México): tax-free up to US$50 per recipient and a single 19% global rate from US$50 to US$1,000. By courier from Europe (up to US$2,500): a 33.5% global rate that already includes the 16% VAT. If you buy in the US, our US warehouse gets USMCA treatment. The quoting tool shows postal and courier options before you buy.

How long does it take for a package to arrive in Mexico?

Delivery times vary. Express shipments can take between 3 and 5 days, while standard shipments can take between 7 and 15 days.

What should I do if my package is held at customs?

If your package is held at customs, you will generally receive a notification with instructions to follow. This may include providing additional documentation or paying duties and taxes. We recommend contacting the courier service for assistance.

How can I track my package?

When sending a package, make sure you obtain a tracking number from the courier service. You can use this number to track the package through the carrier's website and get updates on its status.

What documents do I need to send a package to Mexico?

Generally, you will need a commercial invoice or a contents declaration, and a customs form. For certain items, additional permits or certifications may be required.

Can I send gifts to Mexico and how should I declare them?

Yes, you can send gifts to Mexico, but you must declare the real contents and value of the package with a specific description (not "gift" or "miscellaneous items"). A gift pays like any other shipment: by postal mail, tax-free up to US$50 and 19% up to US$1,000; by courier from Europe, the 33.5% global rate.

How do I handle customs procedures for Mexico?

When sending to Mexico, MDE facilitates self-management of the customs proforma to avoid problems. Remember that you must correctly declare the contents and their value. Our team prepares all the necessary documentation so you have no surprises at customs.

What is the de minimis in Mexico?

By postal mail, US$50 per recipient from any origin, Europe included: up to that value no IGI, VAT or DTA is paid, and from US$50 to US$1,000 a 19% global rate applies. By courier, the US$50 free of IGI and VAT applies only to shipments from the US and Canada (USMCA), with 17% from US$50 to US$117 and 19% above; from Europe, courier pays 33.5%, which already includes VAT.

How much tax do you pay on a parcel from Europe to Mexico?

It depends on how it travels. By postal mail: tax-free up to US$50 per recipient and a single 19% global rate from US$50 to US$1,000. By courier, which is faster: a 33.5% global rate (since 15 August 2025) that replaces duty and VAT. Courier example: a US$300 order pays about US$100.50. The quoting tool shows both options so you can choose.

Can I ship a vape or e-cigarette to Mexico?

No: their import has been prohibited by decree since 2022 and seizure is certain. Weapons and their accessories do not travel either (SEDENA permit, de facto barred in parcels). Controlled medicines need a COFEPRIS permit.

Should I split my orders to Mexico?

No. The US$50 postal threshold is per recipient, and we do not recommend splitting orders to stay under it. Consolidating does make sense: you pay one freight. Run the numbers in the quoting tool, which shows postal and courier options.
