Guide to improve your mexican logistics in e-Commerce shipments

According to data from the Mexican Online Sales Association (AMVO), it states that six out of every 10 small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) sell online, and that 34% of entrepreneurial business sales were made online.

If you are an SME, you must establish an adequate logistics plan that guarantees the satisfaction of your customers

We leave you these 7 aspects to consider when shipping with a logistics company

1. Be clear in what you send, falsehood or variants can cause problems and unnecessary expenses. Honesty in your collection report will make a difference.

2. Know the percentage of accidents that the shipping company that is hired has. This percentage reflects the relationship between claims paid and premiums collected in a period.

3. Take into account the estimated percentage of returns. This occurs when the staff arrives at the requested address and cannot find someone to deliver the package to.  Know if the parcel companies will make two or more delivery attempts without success, and if they take the packages to the nearest point of sale so that the end customer has that third option of receiving.

4. Preferring a correct guarantee will help you not pay more. That is, choose the time in which you want your product to arrive. The longer the delivery time, the lower the cost and it may even be more ecological.

5. Choose the correct packaging and prepare shipments with the appropriate packaging for your product. This will allow you to avoid needing a fragile label, which is usually more expensive. Complying with the correct packaging and packaging will prevent the shipping company from having to repackage your products and generate an extra expense.

6. It is very important that you keep an eye on the shipping process until the customer receives their package with their purchases.

7. Know if the product you sent will cause tariffs in the destination country and what regulations you must comply with.

Did you know that in Mexico starting January 2025, the Tax Administration Service (SAT) established that products imported through digital platforms will be increased by 19%, this for those products from countries without a trade agreement, including China . As for those with a TMEC trade agreement (Mexico, Canada and the United States), the tax will be 17% on products whose value is between $50 and $117. In the case of products between $1 and $50, the 19% tariff will remain.
