Duty & tariff treatment for Mexico
There is no trade agreement between Sri Lanka and Mexico, so goods from Sri Lanka enter at Mexico’s standard (MFN) rate under the TIGIE. Different forms of a product (whole, ground, refined) can sit on different tariff fractions, so check the exact fraction before you price.
Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the current rate for your TIGIE fraction in SNICE.
Import requirements for Mexico
Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Mexico. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Mexico’s customs and standards authority.
Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our чек-лист экспортных документов for the full set.
