Check the 2026 tariff changes for your HS codebatteries
What to check
- Since 1 January 2026 Mexico charges 5% to 50% on 1,463 tariff lines from countries without a trade agreement, China included.
- Not every solar or battery code is on the list. Ask your customs broker to check the exact fraction before you compare quotes.
- Goods brought in under IMMEX for re-export keep their temporary duty-free treatment.
- China ended the 9% export VAT rebate on solar panels from 1 April 2026 and cut it for batteries, so FOB prices rose a little for every market.
Our advice: Get the duty for your exact code in writing from your broker. It decides whether China is still the cheapest option.
