Mexico shipped $4.2 billion of filtering and separation equipment to U.S. buyers in 2025. USITC reported an effective calculated-duty rate of 2.7%, while measured freight added 0.7% of customs value — an additive 3.5% burden before domestic logistics. The MXN moved 4.7% in favor of the buyer over the last two weeks of the FX window. No country-specific unit value is available for this lane, so it is not ranked by landed unit cost.
reported duty rate: 2.7%
freight share: 0.7%
total uplift: 3.5%
The alternatives, same arithmetic: Canada at 1.9% uplift, United Kingdom at 10.2% uplift, Italy at 11.1% uplift. At least one listed lane has a lower duty-and-freight burden; total-cost ranking still requires comparable country-specific unit values.
The effective calculated-duty rate is USITC's reported calculated duty divided by the customs value covered by those duty observations for 2025; it is not a verified cash-payment amount or proof of any particular exclusion, quota, or trade-program claim. Freight is the lane's reported import-charges share of customs value. Reference data, not a customs quote.
