Mexico Logistics for Turkish Sellers

Turkish sellers shipping into Mexico run into three structural issues: Turkey is not a USMCA party, so no preferential tariff applies regardless of routing; a Mexican import requires a Mexican registered taxpayer as importer of record; and Amazon Mexico withholds tax automatically when a seller has no RFC on file. BringGo Ship addresses all three with a US-based route, its own registered importer of record, and Turkish-language support.

The USMCA gap

USMCA preferential tariffs apply based on where goods are manufactured, not where they are shipped from. Turkey is not a USMCA member, so Turkish-origin goods stay Turkish-origin in Mexican customs even after months in a US warehouse — storing, labeling, or repackaging doesn't change origin. A US route can still cut transit time and freight cost; it does not reduce the duty rate. Price your goods against the full, non-preferential HS rate.

Registered importer of record

Mexican law requires the importer of record to be a Mexican-registered taxpayer (RFC holder) enrolled in the padrón. A Turkish company cannot act as its own importer of record in Mexico — the import has to be filed through a Mexican entity acting on your behalf.

Amazon Mexico and RFC

When a Mexican Amazon marketplace seller has no RFC on file, Amazon withholds 20% ISR plus the full 16% IVA on the sale price — not on profit. On a low-margin product that withholding can consume the entire margin. Resolving the RFC/importer-of-record question before you start selling is materially cheaper than fixing it after launch.
