Worked example: tyres & pneumatic tyres worth US$10,000

A commercial shipment invoiced at US$10,000 with US$900 of international freight and insurance. Mexico charges duty on the CIF value (goods + freight + insurance), so the duty base is US$10,900. Customs converts the amount to MXN at the official exchange rate on the day of import.

Charge	At 15%
Import duty	$1,635
DTA customs processing fee (0.8%)	$87
IVA (16%)	$2,020
Total paid at the border	$3,742

IVA is usually recoverable for a registered business, so the cost that stays with you is the duty and levies. Excise, anti-dumping duties and broker fees are not included.
