subject: Parcel Delivery To Mexico [print this page] Mexico is one of the emerging countries whose population is gradually getting more affluent although it is going to take time to get to the same level of its great neighbour the USA. One of its major problems is that there is still a great difference in prosperity between the rich and poor. Its major trading partner in the USA and it is extremely reliant on its business with that country.
There is however a growing trend to want to extend that trade outside of the North American circuit and to develop trade elsewhere.
This requires good parcel services and these are fully in operation with a good carrier but it is a country that has rules and regulations, which at times can be different to what you may be used to finding elsewhere. Some of the changes appear at first view to be unwarranted and unnecessary but usually there is a good reason from the past.
It is a country that has had a very difficult time with the drug supply trade and as this still persists it is extremely difficult to import any item, which may be associated with, that trade in anyway. This applies to any chemicals and other products that can be used in the processing and manufacturing of drugs.
It is also virtually impossible to import any meat, animals or animal products, the reason for this is to stop any possibility of importing diseases, which may harm their agricultural business. They are extremely worried about things like foot and mouth disease and similar problems being brought into their animal stock. Importing from Europe is not easy as the journeys are long and there is strong competition from their neighbour the USA with whom they have a Free Trade Agreement.
All paperwork must be exact and precise as without it the parcel will be refused entry into the country. This can be expensive and cause severe delays or loss of parcel. Make sure you know what the labelling requirements are for the parcel you are sending and stick to them rigidly. Customs duty is charged on almost everything that is sent into the country and it is worthwhile finding out exactly what the duties are prior to shipment. It is also noted that as this is one country where there are virtually no exceptions of customs duty is made there are no exceptions of duty for parcels that contain personal gifts.
