Mexico Customs Forms and Documentation
Whenever you send items internationally, you’ll need to complete a UK customs form.
This form details which goods you’re sending in your parcel and helps the Mexican customs office decide whether customs duties are payable.
When you book your shipping with us, we’ll help you complete your Mexico customs form.
During the booking process, we’ll ask you for the following information:
A detailed description of each item you’re sending. For example, instead of ‘dress’, put ‘women’s cotton dress’
The value of each item
The item’s place of origin. Remember, this is where the item was made, not where it is being shipped from
When your booking is complete, we’ll send you all the customs documentation you need. Just print it out and include it with your parcel.
