The demand for Chinese brand bags and jerseys in the Mexican market has risen rapidly in the past two years, and the container volume at the Port of Manzanillo has been consistently increasing. But when it comes to actual production, many exporters only realize that loading the goods onto the ship is just the first step - RFC tax number, Spanish label, brand authorization, 2026 new tariffs, which link was not sorted out in advance, and when the goods arrive at the port, they just wait and burn money. We specialize in this line, loading containers in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, and handling LCL shipments to help customers pass through these checkpoints one by one.

1、 Shipping prices and delivery time of sub brand bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Mexico by sea

1. Shenzhen to Mexico sub brand bags and jerseys shipping time

Mexico is the second largest economy in Latin America, and the Port of Manzanillo is the largest container port on the Pacific coast. Chinese made clothing and luggage hold a significant market share in the Mexican market. We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou or Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Manzanillo and Ensenda takes about 16-25 days. The whole container takes about 30-45 days from door to door, and the LCL takes about 35-50 days. The cabin space is tight during the peak season from June to September, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is relatively easy.

2. Shipping prices of sub brand bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Mexico by sea

The quoted price includes all costs, including sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Mexican customs clearance, customs duties, 16% value-added tax (IVA), and final delivery. It should be calculated clearly before signing the contract and there will be no additional charges in the future.

3. Shenzhen to Mexico sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight taxes and fees

There will be a major change in Mexican taxes and fees in 2026, and this account needs to be settled first. Starting from April 24, 2026, Mexico will impose import tariffs on 185 tariff lines, with rates ranging from 5% to 35%, including textiles, clothing, and hats. Cotton, wool, or synthetic fiber garments (jackets, suits, pants, underwear, etc.) face tariffs ranging from 25% to 35%. Starting from January 1, 2026, Mexico will implement new tariff rates on imported goods from countries that have not signed free trade agreements, with textile tariffs starting at 35%. The standard value-added tax (IVA) rate is 16%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 16%. Brand bags are classified under HS Chapter 42, and tariffs are also at a higher level, which needs to be verified according to the actual HS code.

Anti dumping duties are another cost variable. Mexico is one of the countries with the most intensive anti-dumping measures in the world, and has anti-dumping duties on Chinese synthetic fiber fabrics, yarns, and other products in the textile industry. In September 2026, Mexico imposed a temporary anti-dumping duty of $0.7334 per kilogram on PVC coated fabrics originating from China. Before shipment, it is necessary to confirm whether the HS code of the product is on the anti-dumping list to avoid additional taxes upon arrival at the port.

2、 Shenzhen to Mexico sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: four checkpoints, none of which can be relaxed

First level: RFC tax number - a hard threshold for Mexican customs clearance

RFC is the Mexican Federal Taxpayer Registration Number, which is equivalent to China's tax number. Starting from January 1, 2025, Mexican customs require all imported goods to declare the importer's RFC tax number. The $50 threshold has been changed to a zero threshold, and all commercial goods must provide it. The customs clearance inspection rate of importers without RFC has significantly increased. Once low declaration is found, the fine amount can reach 50% -100% of the value of the goods. When using DDP double clearance and tax inclusive service, the freight forwarder acts as the importer (IOR) and uses its RFC for customs clearance. RFC must be confirmed before shipment and cannot be reissued after arrival at the port.

Level 2: Spanish Label - NOM Standard Enforcement

Mexico implements NOM-004-SCFI and NOM-097-SCFI standards for imported textiles, with very detailed labeling requirements: all mandatory information must be labeled in Spanish; It must include fiber composition and percentage (such as "80% algod ó n/20% poli é ster"), origin, manufacturer/importer information, and washing instructions; Labels must be fixed, permanent, washable, and cannot be easily detached stickers. Pure English labels may be rejected, Spanish is required, and English can only be used as a supplement.

Level 3: Brand Authorization - Mexican Customs Authenticity

The Mexican National Customs Administration (ANAM) and the Industrial Property Institute (IMPI) have officially signed an agreement to combat illegal goods, elevating the crackdown on infringing goods to a national security level. Customs personnel receive specialized training to identify infringing goods. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter or legal purchase certificate. Manzanillo Port has previously seized over 22000 suspected infringing goods. Before shipping branded goods, in addition to confirming the product name, classification, and declared value, it is also necessary to verify brand authorization, trademark use, and proof of product origin. Even if OEM produced branded goods are not legally authorized, they may still be deemed as infringing and detained.

Fourth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port (fully handled by our Mexican cooperative customs clearance agent):

Mexican customs process declarations through the VUCEM electronic platform. The 2026 foreign trade rules require customs brokers to retain the importer's identification documents, company articles of association, legal representative credentials, photos of the business premises, and other materials, significantly increasing the compliance threshold.

1. RFC confirmation and document pre review (before shipment): Confirm the validity of the importer's RFC, and review the complete set of customs clearance documents in advance

2. Document pre review and data transmission (3-5 days before arrival at the port): Send packing lists, invoices, and other data to the Mexican customs clearance bank for pre entry, and verify whether the HS code, declared value, and product name meet SAT requirements

3. Receipt exchange and declaration (upon arrival at the port): The customs clearance agent exchanges the delivery note and submits the Pedimondo import declaration form to the customs system using RFC

4. Customs document review and inspection: VUCEM system automatically assigns inspection channels - green channels are exempt from inspection (1-2 days), red channels are open for inspection (3-7 days), and yellow channels only review documents and certificates

5. Tax release: Payment of customs duties (IGI)+16% value-added tax (IVA), compliant release

6. End delivery: Delivery throughout Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey

Fifth level: Customs clearance documents

Customs clearance document list: original/electronic bill of lading, commercial invoice (recommended to include Spanish translation), packing list, brand authorization letter or legal purchase certificate, importer RFC tax number, certificate of origin (if applicable), NOM certification (if applicable), fumigation certificate for wooden packaging (if applicable).

3、 Shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Mexico by sea with six red lines, even touching one would be troublesome

1. RFC tax number missing - customs clearance directly stuck

Starting from January 2025, Mexico requires all imported goods to declare RFC with no minimum tariff point. The inspection rate of importers without RFC has significantly increased, and the fine for low declaration can reach 50% -100% of the value of the goods. RFC must be confirmed before shipment.

2. Non compliant Spanish labels - common reasons for port rectification

The label must indicate the fiber composition (accurate to percentage), origin, importer information, and washing instructions in Spanish. The label must be fixed and permanent, and cannot be a sticker. Pure English labels will be rejected.

3. Lack of brand authorization - Customs initiates seizure

The Mexican Customs and Industrial Property Office have joined forces to combat infringement, and ANAM and IMPI have signed an agreement to strengthen border protection. The authorization letter or purchase voucher for brand bags and jerseys must be complete, and OEM goods are also required.

4. Tariffs combined with anti-dumping measures - costs far exceed expectations

Starting from April 24, 2026, textiles and clothing will be subject to an additional 25% -35% tariff. After adding anti-dumping taxes, the overall tax burden may far exceed expectations. Before shipment, it is necessary to confirm whether the HS code is on the anti-dumping list.

5. Underreporting the value of goods - fines can reach 100% of the value of goods

Mexican customs have strict checks on underreporting. If importers without RFC are found to have low declaration, the fine amount can reach 50% -100% of the value of the goods. Suggest declaring based on the actual transaction price.

6. Wooden packaging without IPPC label - return or destroy

Mexico requires wooden packaging to comply with ISPM 15 standards, undergo fumigation or heat treatment, and be labeled with IPPC. Wooden packaging without labeling will be seized and inspected by customs or even returned. It is recommended to prioritize the use of plastic pallets or plywood fumigation free materials to avoid risks.

4、 Packaging requirements: Three layers of protection, according to brand standards

1. Three layer protection: Brand bags and jerseys have a high value, can float on the sea for 30-40 days, and the packaging can withstand it.

|First layer: Inner packaging | football jersey cover with dust-proof bag folded up; Put the brand dust bag in the bag, with paper balls stuffed inside to support the shape of the bag. Don't damage the hang tag washing label|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | the box is filled with enough cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the goods cannot be shaken in the box|

|Third layer: outer box reinforcement | cardboard box, do not use soft packaging. Single box should not exceed 30kg, and single side should not exceed 150cm. The box should be sealed with a "worker" shape and the tape should be ≥ 5cm

2. Wooden packaging: Solid wood must undergo ISPM 15 treatment and be labeled with IPPC (including treatment company number, treatment method code such as HT/MB, and country code). It is recommended to use plastic pallets or plywood without fumigation materials directly, which saves time and money.

3. Special requirements for Mexican labels:

-Spanish label for fiber composition, precise to percentage (e.g. "80% algod ó n/20% poli é ster")

-Origin landmark "Hecho en China" and importer's name and address

-Washing instructions in Spanish

-The label must be fixed, permanent, washable, and cannot be a sticker

-Outer box label, specific product name written

-Fragile items are labeled with "FR Á GIL", and desiccants are placed inside the box to prevent moisture

The Mexican line is both complex and simple - the key is to clarify the RFC, labeling, authorization, and tariffs before shipping. We have been working on this line for many years, from door-to-door container loading in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, to customs clearance and tax payment in Manzanillo, and then to door-to-door delivery in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterey, with our own personnel monitoring the entire process. You deliver the goods to the domestic warehouse, and we will run the rest in one stop. Easy to worry about, save money, and avoid pitfalls.
