Mexico Sea Freight DDP with Double Customs Clearance
Weekly LCL consolidation from Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Yiwu to Mexico, cleared at both ends with duty and VAT prepaid, then delivered to the consignee's warehouse.
Mexico sea freight DDP is the most economical way to move commercial volume from China to Mexico once an order passes a few cubic metres, and it is the lane most of our factory and trading company clients use month after month. On DDP terms we hold responsibility from your supplier's door in China to the consignee's warehouse in Mexico: we clear customs twice, prepay duty and VAT, and deliver on a booked appointment instead of leaving your buyer to chase a broker at Manzanillo.

LCL Mexico Sea DDP from 0.5 CBM
Not every order justifies a container. We consolidate LCL cargo at our Shenzhen Fuyong, Guangzhou Jianggao and Yiwu warehouses, load it into 20GP or 40HQ groupage boxes on a weekly schedule, and price it per CBM with a 0.5 CBM minimum per shipment. A 1–15 CBM order therefore ships at a predictable unit cost, and cartons from a second supplier can join the same consolidation without opening a new booking. Full container loads are quoted separately once volume crosses roughly 15–18 CBM.
What the All-in Rate Includes
Our Mexico DDP price covers the origin export declaration, booking and haulage, ocean freight from Yantian or Shekou, destination terminal handling, Mexico customs clearance at both ends, duty and VAT prepaid under the importer of record we appoint, and delivery to the consignee's warehouse in the destination city. Because tax is settled before delivery, your buyer receives a clean handover and you receive one invoice: DDP shipping to Mexico with tax included, not a base rate plus a clearance surprise. Extra costs such as examination holds or waiting time beyond the free window are quoted in advance and never appear unannounced.
Transit Time and Sailing Frequency
Door-to-door transit is typically 35–45 days from South China to Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas, with weekly consolidation cut-offs and a few additional days for terminal release, customs formalities and inland delivery. We confirm the actual cut-off, vessel and estimated arrival on every booking confirmation, so your production schedule is built on a real date rather than an industry average. Mexican holiday peaks tighten port and warehouse appointments, and we flag those when the calendar affects a booking.
Cargo, Documents and the Next Step
We handle general commercial goods, factory production, trading company cargo and mixed-SKU container shipments. To quote and book we need a commercial invoice, packing list, an accurate product description with material and use, the consignee's tax registration and warehouse address, and your required delivery window. Restricted categories are reviewed before booking rather than at the border. Send these details and you receive a Mexico DDP shipping quote within one business day, with the ocean leg, clearance, tax and delivery broken out so you can see where the money goes.

Questions we get on this lane
Which Mexican ports do you use?
Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas on the Pacific side, selected per booking according to sailing availability and the consignee's inland destination.
Can several suppliers ship under one DDP entry?
Yes. We receive cartons from different suppliers at our three warehouses and consolidate them into one bill of lading and one customs entry, which is usually cheaper than several small clearances.
What happens if customs examines the container?
We handle the inspection through our appointed importer of record, respond to the customs query with the commercial documents, and keep you informed of the release date. Storage and examination costs are quoted at cost.
Do you deliver outside the main cities?
Yes. Inland delivery is priced per destination address, so tell us the exact warehouse city and postcode at quotation stage.
