Using FedEx When Shipping to Mexico

FedEx provides speedy shipping to any country in the world, but it gets even faster between the U.S. or Canada and Mexico. This is due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which eliminates most types of trade barriers between the three countries allowing easy passage of shipment through borders and ports. FedEx will treat all packages from any country equally despite this, as long as they comply with Mexican Customs regulations. The following guidelines are helpful when using FedEx.com to ship your package online.

A. Go to FedEx.com and find ‘Shipping 101’. Step one on the site will give you information about the shipping rates of your packages once you've provided the country and zip code the packages will originate from. Remember to include the correct information about your destination and the weight of your package for accurate shipping rates.

B. To make shipping as easy as possible, all the shipping labels and documentation that you will need can be created via the online shipping tool. In this tool, you will just enter several import information such as shipper’s name and address, description of the package, type of package and quantity. The customs import code will be automatically generated using the tool. You will need a FedEx.com account in order to use the online shipping tool. By simply providing accurate shipping information, you can avoid many costly and inconvenient shipping delays in customs.

C. After successfully creating the shipping and label documents, get your shipment to the nearest FedEx outlet. You can tract the status of your package via sms, email notifications and online inquiries.
