Can this car get in?

  • Used cars may be imported only if built in Mexico, the US or Canada (per VIN); Chinese-built used cars cannot enter — new cars can
  • Who can import: Individuals and companies can import: an individual may import 1 new car every 12 months through an agente aduanal without joining the Padrón (RGCE 2026 rule 3.5.1-I-g); more cars or cars for resale require the Padrón de Importadores (RFC + e.firma)
  • A new car must be first-hand, of a model year no earlier than the year of import, with ≤1,000 km at clearance (RGCE 3.5.1-I-a): a current-model-year car that clears after 31 December counts as used
  • The pedimento must be filed through an agente aduanal; IGI, IVA, ISAN and DTA are paid on the pedimento
  • The used-vehicle decree (in force until 2026-11-30) covers only cars whose VIN shows manufacture in Mexico, the US or Canada

  • DTA customs processing fee: 8 per thousand (0.8%) of the customs value, Ley Federal de Derechos Art. 49-I ↗ official 2026-10-26

  • RGCE 2026: a new car is first-hand (manufacturer / authorised dealer document), model year ≥ year of import, ≤1,000 km at clearance (rule 3.5.1-I-a); pedimento filed through an agente aduanal, with IGI, IVA, ISAN and DTA paid on it; an individual may import 1 new car every 12 months without the Padrón (3.5.1-I-g, 1.3.1-X) ↗ official 2026-10-26
  • The used-vehicle decree opens routes only for cars whose VIN shows manufacture in Mexico, the US or Canada (Arts. 4, 5); as amended it is in force until 2026-11-30 — Chinese-built used cars have no route ↗ official 2026-10-26
  • Padrón de Importadores: individuals and companies importing must register; requires an active RFC, e.firma, tax compliance and an agente aduanal or legal representative ↗ official 2026-10-26
  • Port + clearance (incl. agente aduanal fee) and registration are estimates with no official tariff; plates, tenencia and verificación depend on the state
From 2026 new Chinese-built passenger cars pay 50% IGI (battery-electric too, previously exempt; petrol ≤1000cc and diesel ≤1500cc stay at 20%), plus DTA 0.8%, ISAN on petrol cars (2026 scale 2–17%, BEV / hybrids exempt) and IVA 16% on a base that includes IGI, DTA and ISAN. An individual may import 1 new car every 12 months through an agente aduanal without the Padrón; a new car must be of a model year no earlier than the year of import with ≤1,000 km. The used-car decree (until 2026-11-30) admits only cars built in Mexico, the US or Canada, so Chinese cars are new-only.
