Air transportation: that is to say, the transportation from domestic to destination through cargo plane or airliner, direct flight or transit, and delivery after customs clearance. The timeliness is slower than international express, and the security is also higher.

International express: there are DHL, TNT, FedEx and UPS. The biggest advantage is that the time is fast and the cost is relatively high.
PS: small weight, less than 45kg, the cost of international express and air transportation is almost the same, but the international express procedures are convenient. More than 100kg, the cost of air transportation is lower than express. Regardless of the value of the goods, the buyer needs to provide declaration power of attorney. 

Sea transportation:that is, through the cargo ship to the port of Mexico, there are two modes of container transportation and bulk container.For large products or goods with large volume, the cost of sea transportation is the lowest, but the time limit is relatively slow, so more time should be reserved.

The main ports of the Mexico line:Mansanilo, Mexico City, Veracruz, Guadalajara.

Main affiliated shipping companies:CSCL、MSC(The freight rate is low),CSAV(The freight rate is medium and the speed is fast),MAERSK、HAMBURG-SUD(The freight rate is higher and the speed is the fastest).

Due to the imbalance of global containers, the influx of Asian bulk commodities and the reduction of port labor force after the epidemic, China's shipping volume continues to rise, and the current freight (2021-july) is many times of the average price in 2020.
Ocean freight in 2020:20GP:USD3300;40GP:USD3900;40HC:USD3900.
Ocean freight in 2021:USD9100;40GP:USD10600;40HC:USD10600.

The approximate time span between China and Mexico ports is about 25-40 days. It takes about 25 days for Shenzhen and Guangzhou to go to Mexico for sea transportation, 40 days for Tianjin to Mexico, 30 days for Qingdao to Mexico, 25 days for Shanghai and Ningbo to Mexico, and 28 days for Xiamen and Fuzhou to Mexico.
