Overview
Mexico’s import duty structure for goods originating from the United States is predominantly defined by the USMCA agreement, which eliminates tariffs on the majority of qualifying industrial and agricultural products. While most duties are zero-rated, importers must navigate complex rules of origin and administrative requirements to claim preferential treatment. Beyond base duties, various indirect taxes and processing fees apply to ensure regulatory compliance and revenue collection.
| Duty/Tax Type Name | Standard Rate or Rate Range |
|---|---|
| Ad Valorem | 0% (USMCA) to 35% (MFN) |
| Specific Duties | Varies by physical unit |
| Compound Duties | Ad Valorem + Specific components |
| Section 301 | Not applicable to US-Mexico trade |
| Antidumping Duties | Case-specific (varies by product) |
| Excise Tax (IEPS) | 3% to 160% (product dependent) |
| Customs Processing Fee (DTA) | 0.8% or fixed USMCA rate |
| Value Added Tax (IVA) | Standard 16% rate |
