Live animals cannot be shipped for humanitarian, health, and safety reasons. Animal products may also transmit diseases or require animal health certificates and special import permits.

Chemicals and Corrosive Materials

Acids, solvents, corrosive products, and other chemicals can cause leaks, burns, poisoning, fires, or damage to other packages during storage and transport.

Plants, Seeds, and Agricultural Products

These may carry pests, fungi, or diseases that can harm Mexico’s agriculture and ecosystems. Their import is usually subject to inspections, phytosanitary certificates, and special authorizations.

Perishable Foods

Fresh, refrigerated, or frozen products can spoil in transit, causing contamination, unpleasant odors, or health risks. They also require special storage and transportation conditions.

Counterfeit Goods

Replicas, knockoffs, and products that infringe on trademarks or intellectual property rights may be held, seized, or destroyed by customs authorities.

Hazardous Waste

Damaged batteries, chemical waste, biological materials, medical waste, and infectious substances can cause contamination, fires, poisoning, or exposure to hazardous agents. Transporting them requires specialized handling and permits.

Bladed Weapons and Firearms

Firearms, ammunition, knives, pocketknives, and other items considered weapons pose a safety risk. Depending on the item, they may also require specific permits or be subject to legal restrictions.

Explosive and Flammable Materials

Explosives, fuels, fireworks, gases, flammable aerosols, and similar materials can cause fires, explosions, or serious accidents during transport.
