The Government seeks to regulate and control mini international purchases via platforms such as Shein and Temu.
Now, all international online sales companies will have to collect the RFC or CURP from their clients in Mexico, with the aim that the Ministry of Economy can control those who import merchandise on a large scale to resell in the country.
The ant import, known as “minimis”, has generated complaints from the national industry, mainly footwear and clothing. Estimates from the National Chamber of the Footwear Industry (Canaical) indicate that in 2023 the import of footwear through digital platforms reached 4 billion dollars, without the corresponding tariff payments.
“Companies like Shein and Temu import billions of dollars into Mexico, damaging the national industry and leaving a big hole in the treasury,” said Mauricio Battaglia, president of the organization.
The new padlocks that are about to be published in the Official Gazette will not only make it possible to identify the value of the “minimis” in Mexico, but also to control those who import them for resale. Thus, import facilities will no longer apply to recipients who order more than 10 packages per month. Yesterday the SAT reported that it will strengthen supervision so that courier companies identify those who import goods from Asia without paying the corresponding taxes.
