New rules from the Mexican Tax Administration and Customs
New rules from the Mexican Tax Administration and Customs: from 1 January 2025, all foreign businesses selling products through e-commerce platforms will be subject to a 16% value-added tax (VAT), while recipients will have to submit a taxpayer registration number or personally identifiable information.
However, sending messages to buyers through the Amazon seller backend is very inefficient communication. Moreover, this regulation involves buyers' personal and sensitive information, and if sellers ask buyers directly without Amazon's official release of the relevant regulations, they are highly likely to be rejected by buyers. If the recipient's tax or ID number is not available when the goods are cleared through customs, it may lead to higher fines or even cause the parcel to be destroyed directly, which will cause great losses for both buyers and sellers, thus affecting the reputation of the shop and the platform.
Therefore, sellers hope that Amazon can start from the policy level and technical level to collect such information from buyers. This will facilitate the transaction and help to ensure the smooth transaction of the order.
