Vintage Carhartt wholesale — Mexico

Air freight into Mexico City runs 8–14 days for smaller lots. Sea freight via Manzanillo or Veracruz is cheaper per piece above 50 pieces but adds five to seven weeks and a formal customs entry through a broker.

Mexico charges 16% IVA on imports and applies customs duty on clothing, with couriers typically using a simplified flat-rate clearance for parcels. Used clothing imports face extra scrutiny, so we describe goods accurately and attach a commercial invoice. The courier collects taxes and a clearance fee before delivery. For bulk this is simpler than it sounds — one freight entry rather than many small parcels each attracting handling fees.

Mexico City's Roma, Condesa and the Lagunilla market have a thriving vintage scene, and Guadalajara and Monterrey are growing. Mercado Libre and Instagram are the main channels. Carhartt has strong recognition from US proximity, and Detroits and double knees in brown and black sell fastest.
