南美：墨西哥新关税针对Shein、Temu 等平台

墨西哥税务机关SAT周二发布了新的关税规则，称将加强对来自亚洲的商品监管，这一举措可能主要是针对Shein和Temu等受欢迎的在线零售商。

墨西哥国家税务总局在与记者分享的一份声明中说，来自与墨西哥没有国际条约的国家的快递公司进入墨西哥的货物将被征收19%的关税。恰好，墨西哥与Shein和Temu所在国中国没有相关国际条约。

当地税务机关表示，关税将加强打击所谓《滥用行为》。

据 SAT 发言人称，此前，各国并不会要求对这些低价值商品缴纳关税。

新措施将于 2025年1月1日生效，与此同时，一系列影响电子商务公司的新税收制度也会出台，其中包括总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆政府 12 月 19 日颁布的一项法令，该法令将一系列服装的进口关税提高至 35%，包括连衣裙和衬衫、毛毯和窗帘等家居用品，以及帐篷和遮阳篷。

当地官员本月早些时候表示，此举旨在防止一些逃税产品进口，为墨西哥公司提供公平的竞争环境，并保护该行业的就业岗位。

与沃尔玛和亚马逊等美国零售商竞争的电子商务巨头 Shein 和 Temu 将会受到更高关税的影响。

Mexico's tax authority SAT issued new tariffs on Tuesday, which it said will strengthen the surveillance of goods from Asia, a measure that could impact popular online retailers like Shein and Temu.

Goods that enter Mexico via courier companies originating from countries that do not have an international treaty with Mexico will be subject to a duty of 19%, SAT said in a statement shared with reporters.  Mexico does not have an international treaty with China, where Shein and Temu are based.

The tax authority said the tariffs will strengthen the "fight against abusive practices."  Previously, countries were not required to pay duties on goods of those values, according to a SAT spokesperson.

The new measures, which go into effect on Jan. 1, come amid a slew of new tax guidelines that impact e-commerce companies, including a Dec. 19 decree by the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum that increased import duties to as much as 35% on a swath of clothing, including dresses and shirts, home goods like blankets and curtains, as well as tents and awnings.

Officials said earlier this month that the move was aimed at preventing the importation of some products that evaded taxes, guaranteeing a level playing field for Mexican companies and protecting sector jobs.E-commerce powerhouses Shein and Temu, which compete with U.S. retailers like Walmart and Amazon, could be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of higher tariffs.
