Mexico's New Import Tax on Online Shopping Hits Your Wallet Starting This Week
If you've been eyeing that cheap gadget or clothing haul from abroad, brace yourself. Mexico just slapped a new 19% import tax on all online purchases from foreign retailers, including Amazon, Shein, and Temu. Starting immediately, every package crossing the border now costs you extra, whether it's a $5 phone case or a $50 dress. The average household could see an extra $200 in surprise fees this year alone, with delivery times doubling as customs gets bogged down. Your wallet's about to feel this squeeze every time you hit 'buy now.'
