As someone who occasionally sends goods or samples from Mexico to China, I’ve learned that prices can vary widely depending on the method and size of the shipment. The cost for small packages via international couriers (like DHL or FedEx) can start from $30–$70 USD, while larger shipments cost significantly more.
For commercial shipping, the cheapest shipping from China to Mexico (and vice versa) is usually by sea freight. But this comes with longer transit times—typically 25–45 days. For a 20-foot container shipped from Mexico to China by sea, the price usually starts around $2,000 to $3,500 USD, depending on the port, cargo type, and market conditions. Air freight is faster but can cost $5–$10 USD per kilogram, making it more expensive for bulk shipments.
