Why Mexico needs special attention
Shipments to Mexico are intercontinental: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging that matches both item and destination makes the difference between intact arrival and a bad surprise.
L'VAT messicana è 16% standard: applicata sui values above soglia.
The 5 steps to pack tablet for Mexico
Step 1 — Materials needed. batteria ADR, custodia + box originale, double box for voli.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean tablet before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. wrap tablet con minimo 3 strati di pluriball (o 4-5 for oggetti very delicati). Non save sull'packaging: il parcel passa for 4-5 hub internazionali.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Mexico's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
