Mexico coverage

Mexico Trade Data

CargoFax provides Mexico customs data for imports and exports, by sea and by air. Mexico records are pedimentos (Mexican customs declarations), not bills of lading. Each record is one pedimento line item with the declared value in US dollars, the gross weight, and the RFC tax ID of the Mexican company. Mexico records are updated monthly and start in January 2023. CargoFax holds more than 60 million Mexico records across four datasets. Search them in Atlas next to US bills of lading and the rest of Latin America, or receive the full dataset in bulk through Files.

Customs declarations for both directions of Mexico's trade, with values and weights.

Why pair Mexico data with US data?

Mexico sits at the center of nearshoring and China+1 sourcing decisions for North American supply chains. In 2023, Mexico passed China as the largest source of US goods imports, according to US Census Bureau trade data. The CargoFax Mexico monthly reports follow Mexico's imports by origin country each month. With Mexico customs declarations and US bills of lading in the same platform, you can follow a product category from its suppliers into Mexico and, for goods that continue north by sea, into the United States. Researchers use the same pairing to study how importers re-source after a tariff change, product by product.

Mexico records carry the declared value of each declaration, so you can size a market in dollars, compare unit values across origin countries, and see which suppliers win business on price. Incoterms appear on nearly every row.

How does Mexico data reach you?

In Atlas, Explorer searches every Mexico declaration, Vault keeps the products and partner countries you follow, and Vault emails you when the monthly release adds matching records.

For teams that load data into their own systems, Files delivers the historical archive and monthly increments by FTP or API in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Parquet.

FAQ

Mexico trade data: frequently asked questions

Where can I get Mexico import data?

CargoFax provides Mexico customs declarations for imports and exports, with declared values and weights, in Atlas and through Files for bulk delivery.

Is Mexico import data based on bills of lading?

No. Mexico import and export records in CargoFax are pedimentos, the customs declarations of Mexico, not bills of lading. Each pedimento line item carries the declaration date, the pedimento number, the 10-digit tariff code, the product description, the customs office, the Mexican company and its RFC tax ID, the foreign party, the transport mode, the gross weight, quantities, the declared value in US dollars, and the Incoterm.

Is Mexico customs data public?

Aggregate Mexico trade statistics are public. Searching individual customs declarations by product, partner country, and month, with value and weight on each record, requires a dataset like the one CargoFax maintains.

How often is Mexico trade data updated?

Mexico records in CargoFax are updated monthly.

How far back does Mexico data go?

Mexico records in CargoFax start in January 2023, for all four datasets. Earlier history can be discussed case by case for research licenses.

What HS codes are available for Mexico?

Every Mexico record carries its 10-digit Mexican tariff code, whose first six digits are the international HS subheading, so any product can be searched by chapter, heading, or subheading.

Does Mexico data include company tax IDs?

Yes. The Mexican party carries its RFC, the most reliable key for matching companies, and the foreign party carries its tax or VAT number where declared.

Does Mexico data include exports?

Yes. The Mexico dataset covers imports and exports, by sea and by air, with the partner country on every record.

Can I compare Mexico and US imports of the same product?

Yes. Mexico declarations and US bills of lading sit in the same Atlas platform and both carry HS codes, so one product can be followed in both markets.

How much does Mexico data cost?

Atlas plans are monthly or annual and priced by markets and data access. See the pricing page or book a demo for a quote.
