About Mexico
Mexico is a North American country bordered by the USA, Belize and Guatemala. The country is the 11th most populated country in the world and the 14th largest in terms of land area. Mexico is a popular tourist destination. Visitors are attracted by its beach resorts along the coast, its numerous areas of outstanding natural beauty and the many ancient ruins ‒ relics of Mexico’s great civilisations, such as the Mayas and the Aztecs.
Mexico has a fascinating history, having been ruled by several great civilisations – the Mayas, the Olmecs, the Toltecs and the Aztecs ‒ before being ruled over by the Spanish for at least 300 years. Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. The Spanish influence is still very much in evidence, however, especially in the country’s use of the Spanish language.
Mexico’s climate varies depending on the region, but generally experiences hot and humid weather along the coast and dryer weather inland, especially in areas that sit high above sea level. You may even find freezing temperatures in winter, with snow on the mountain tops. Average temperatures in the capital city, Mexico City, are 18°C (64°F) in summer and 13°C (55°F) in winter.
Mexico is home to over 30 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it a great destination for travel. These include the pre-Hispanic towns of Chichen Itza and Uxmal and the historic centres of Mexico City and Xochimilco (a borough of Mexico City).
You can enjoy many areas of natural beauty in Mexico, including Chiapas, which is a subtropical region with thick rainforest and Mayan ruins. You should also visit the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, which has enormous cliffs and numerous caves.
If you fancy a beach holiday, Mexico has a large number of beach holiday resorts to choose from. Some of the most popular areas are Cancun, Acapulco, Playa del Carmen and Los Cabos. Most resorts offer facilities to allow you to enjoy many water sports, such as diving, surfing, snorkelling, sailing and deep-sea fishing.

Air Freight to Mexico
Air freight is one suggestion for sending large items, such as a desk or a chest of drawers, to Mexico. Sending items by air freight usually takes one to two days, which is normally faster than sea freight shipping, but generally more expensive. What you have to pay will depend on the weight and size of your shipment. You will probably also have to get a customs agent to handle customs clearance for you. And, you need to work out how to get your items to and from the airport, which means that costs could quickly increase. If you send internationally by air freight to Mexico your items will likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Mexico City, Cancún or Guadalajara International Airports.
Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Mexico
Instead of air freight, you could try sea freight or container shipping to move your possessions to Mexico. Again, this option is usually used when transporting large items, like a coffee table or armchair. Sea freight usually means shipping items in large containers loaded onto cargo ships. It can be cheaper than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports, which means it could cost more than expected. When using container shipping to Mexico your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports, such as Veracruz, Manzanillo or Ensenada.
Shipping Goods to Mexico
You need to find out about the current customs rules when shipping goods to Mexico. You should be fully aware of any duty that needs to be paid and what items are permitted to be shipped to Mexico, which items are restricted, and which are entirely forbidden. Take a look at the prohibited items and customs sections on this page for more information.
