由 lltx1822 Consolidation Solutions and Cost Analysis for Shipping Coffee Tables and Rocking Chairs to Mexico
Mexico is far from China, and its domestic logistics network is complex. When shipping furniture such as coffee tables and rocking chairs, both timeliness and cost need to be comprehensively considered. For small and lightweight coffee tables and rocking chairs, air freight can significantly shorten the transit time, although it is more expensive. For larger and heavier furniture, sea freight remains the primary choice.
Mexican customs have specific requirements for imported furniture, such as the need to provide certificates of origin and quality certificates. Before shipping, send the furniture to the consolidation company’s warehouse. The company will provide professional packaging according to the furniture’s material and shape. For example, multiple layers of foam and wooden boxes will be added to reinforce glass coffee tables.
The advantage of air freight lies in its speed. The transit time from China to major cities in Mexico is only 5 – 7 days, but the freight is about 50 – 80 yuan per kilogram, making it suitable for small, high – value, and urgently needed furniture. LCL sea freight is relatively lower, about 300 – 500 yuan per cubic meter, with a transit time of 28 – 40 days. FCL freight varies according to the container type, ranging from 10000 – 20000 yuan, with a transit time of 30 – 45 days.
After the furniture arrives at the Mexican port, customs duties may be payable during the customs clearance process. The tariff rate for furniture in Mexico is approximately 5% – 15%, depending on the furniture’s material and type. In addition, pay attention to the connection of inland transportation in Mexico and choose a reliable local logistics provider to deliver the furniture to the final destination.
