DO I NEED TO PROVIDE A TAX ID FOR ORDERS SHIPPING TO MEXICO?Updated a month ago

✅ A valid TAX ID (RFC) is required for all orders shipped to Mexico.

Due to strengthened Mexican customs regulations, all recipients must provide a valid TAX ID (RFC) and complete the required customs registration to ensure successful delivery.

To avoid delays, please make sure of the following:

  • You have a valid and correct TAX ID (RFC)

  • Your name, email address, and phone number match the information registered with Mexican customs


📦 How does the customs process work?

  • DHL will contact the recipient to request TAX ID verification

  • Even if you have already provided your TAX ID to Lewkin, local DHL may still contact you to confirm it again

  • An automatic notification will be sent to the email and phone number listed on the shipping label

  • You must submit your TAX ID within 32 hours of receiving the request


⚠️ What happens if I don’t provide my TAX ID?

  • Your shipment may be delayed or placed on hold

  • If DHL is unable to reach you or the registration fails for more than 5 days, the package will be automatically returned

  • Refunds or reshipments are not available in such cases


✅ Important reminders for customers

  • Please check and respond to any TAX ID request from DHL or customs

  • Providing accurate TAX ID information is the customer’s responsibility

  • Delays in providing the required information may result in longer shipping times
