When importing goods from China to Mexico, you must understand the customs clearance process and import duties. Mexican customs imposes a 16% value-added tax (VAT) on imported products, and additional taxes may be levied depending on the specific items being imported. It is crucial to understand these fees and prepare the necessary documentation to ensure a smooth customs clearance process.

• Tariff subtitles and product information
