Importing from China into Mexico: what works, what it costs, how it arrives.
I bring in general merchandise, apparel and fabrics, lighting, pet products, stationery and equipment from China. You get the full landed cost before paying the supplier, and advice on whether the border route makes sense.
Importing from China works when the cost is calculated in full from the start: factory price, freight, duties by tariff code, NOM certification if it applies, handling and transport to the warehouse. The most common mistake is buying first and asking later.
I work with first-time importers and with distributors bringing a container every month. I vet the supplier, coordinate pickup in China and clear at the port that best fits the route. For Baja California, border-region programs can change the math.
- Full landed-cost calculation per product before buying.
- Full container or consolidated cargo depending on volume.
- NOM, labeling and permit review per product.
- Importer-of-record service through my trading company if the buyer is not registered.
- Clearance and delivery in Baja California or any state.
What people ask about this.
Can I ship from China to a customer in Mexico through Tijuana?
Yes. Ocean freight to the Pacific coast, clearance and delivery in Mexico, all coordinated from my office. I also handle mixed containers that need inspection before continuing inland.
What does a container from China to Mexico cost?
It depends on product, volume and season. I break it down in writing: ocean freight, duties by tariff code, handling, clearance and inland transport, so you can compare against your selling price.
Does Mexico require certification for Chinese products?
Many do: electrical goods, lighting, apparel labeling and others fall under NOM standards. I identify which apply to your product before it ships.
