Selling on Amazon Mexico: What Foreign Sellers Must Know Before Launching
Mexico is Latin America's second-largest e-commerce market — and Amazon México is booming. But before you launch, there are key legal and tax steps to cover.
Why Sell on Amazon Mexico?
100M+ internet users
Cross-border e-commerce growing 30%+ yearly
Amazon is now the top platform after Mercado Libre
Can Foreigners Sell on Amazon.mx?
Yes — but you need to be legally registered and tax compliant in Mexico.
Requirements to Sell Legally
RFC (tax ID)
CFDI digital invoicing
Mexican bank account (to receive payouts)
What Happens If You Skip These?
Amazon may withhold 20–36% of payouts
Your account may be flagged or suspended
No legal way to invoice clients or deduct expenses
Fiscal Representation vs. Own Entity
Fiscal representation: MBP acts as your legal face in Mexico (fastest option)
Own entity: You create a Mexican company to operate (takes longer, more control)
Setup Time
With MBP, you’re ready in 2–3 weeks. Faster than registering directly with Amazon as a foreigner.
