Is it a disastrous start? Just at the beginning of 2026, Mexican sellers have already felt something wrong... If you are still operating in the Mexican market, you must read this carefully.

In just these few days, four major risks have broken out concentratedly. Let's take a look together with Yi Ju Overseas!

1. Sudden Turmoil in Mexico, Logistics Risks Soar

On February 22nd, the Mexican military killed the leader of the drug - trafficking group "New Generation of Jalisco State", and his subordinates launched retaliatory attacks in Jalisco state and surrounding states. There were situations such as car burnings and road closures, and even multiple security personnel were injured or killed.

Although the official later said that the situation had basically calmed down, the possible chain reactions for cross - border sellers:

1. Land transportation logistics timeliness is delayed;

2. Some flights are cancelled or rerouted;

3. Customs clearance efficiency fluctuates;

4. Local warehousing security risks rise.

Special reminder: For sellers who use land transportation recently, try to avoid conflict areas, follow up the logistics track in real - time, communicate with buyers in advance, and avoid disputes or bad reviews due to delays.

2. Upgrade of Tax Audit in Mexico

The Mexican Tax Administration Service SAT issued a notice, announcing the overall tax plan for 2026. Taxation in Mexico will pay more attention to selectivity and targeting. The key targets include:

1. Enterprises with continuous tax losses;

2. Trading with false invoice companies;

3. Inconsistent inventory data of purchase, sale and storage;

4. Abuse of deductions or tax preferences;

5. Transactions involving tax havens;

6. Unreasonable tax refund applications;

7. The actual income tax rate is lower than the industry average.

It should be noted that this is not to relax supervision, but to enter a more technical audit stage. For companies operating in Mexico, what is more important now is:

1. Conduct tax risk assessment in advance

2. Ensure the closed - loop of purchase, sale and storage data

3. Prepare complete tax supporting materials

3. Service Providers Run Away, Sellers' Funds Damaged

Recently, there have been continuous reports of "suspected embezzlement and running away" incidents of Mexican service providers in Shenzhen Mexico.

The unscrupulous operations include: Deleting sub - accounts, changing the main account password, arbitrarily transferring back funds, and even using store qualifications to apply for loans on the platform.

Many signs before running away: Suddenly increasing service fees, requiring full - payment in advance, frequently changing docking personnel, perfunctory answers, and procrastination.

Suggestions to avoid pitfalls:

1. Keep the right of back - fund collection by yourself;

2. Don't completely hand over the main account to the service provider;

3. Regularly check the backend data;

4. Diversify cooperation channels and don't rely solely on low prices.

4. Back - end of MercadoLibre Prompts RFC Tax Number Invalid

Recently, many sellers reported that the back - end of MercadoLibre prompts that the RFC tax number is invalid. It should be noted that the RFC itself is permanently valid and there is no "expiration".

The real reason is that the platform requires you to upload the "tax status document issued recently" to confirm that your RFC is in an active state.

Different platforms have different requirements. Some require issuance within one month, some within three months, and it is very likely to be prompted by the system if it exceeds half a year.

The solution is simple. Let the service provider log in to the official website of the tax bureau with an electronic signature, download the latest tax status document, and upload it to the platform back - end.

What will happen if it is not handled? The platform cannot deduct taxes normally, and may freeze the account, affecting sales and withdrawal.

Finally:

Many sellers haven't reacted yet. Accounts, taxes, logistics, and compliance are all under comprehensive pressure. Sellers in Mexico can have a chat in the comment area. Have you encountered any abnormalities recently?
