Is Amazon Mexico worth expanding to?
Amazon Mexico grew fast through 2024 to 2026 and is the third-largest Amazon Americas marketplace after US and Canada. It works well for sellers whose category is not saturated by local Mercado Libre alternatives. Remote Fulfillment from the US covers the launch phase without local inventory.

Why Mexico is compelling
Growing middle-class demand for imported categories. Remote Fulfillment enables US-inventoried launches. IVA (Mexican VAT) is manageable through Amazon's tax collection support.
What to watch
Mercado Libre is dominant in some categories. Peso volatility affects margin. Cross-border shipping delays add lead-time noise vs a US-native launch.
