Which Mexican standards apply to imported toys?

The main ones are NOM-015-SCFI-2007 (toy commercial information and labeling) and NOM-252-SSA1-2011 (heavy metals in toys and school supplies). Each tariff line may add requirements; your agent reviews them before shipping.

Do I need a sector-specific importer registration for toys?

Annex 10 of the 2026 General Foreign Trade Rules has no toy sector, but you do need SAT's general Importers Registry. Some items, such as costumes or children's footwear, may fall into a sector that does require it.

What duty do Chinese toys pay in Mexico?

It depends on the tariff line. Since January 1, 2026, duties went up on toys from countries without a trade agreement with Mexico, such as China. We confirm the current rate for each model before shipping.

Can I ship if I don't fill a container?

Yes. With consolidated cargo (LCL) you share the container and pay only for the space your goods take.

Import toys from China to Mexico without customs surprises

Q: Do you inspect goods in China?

Yes. We pick up at the factory or warehouse and check quality, quantity and labeling before loading the container, with photo evidence.

Factory pickup and inspection, 20', 40', 40HC or shared containers, and clearance at any Mexican customs office. Your goods arrive in time for the season.

We operate in the world's busiest international ports and at every customs office in Mexico.

We speak your language: multilingual agents handle your shipment end to end.

Toy containers rarely get stuck at sea. They get stuck at customs. A label missing the recommended age, a misclassified tariff line or a miscalculated duty can cost you the season. We check labeling, standards and classification before sailing and coordinate with your supplier in China and with you in your language.
