Why do freight values in Import Mexico appear incorrect or as zero?

In Import Mexico, there are two freight-related fields: Freight Value USD and Total Freight Value MXN. They are not direct conversions of each other, as they are pulled from different sections of the pedimento.

Context:

• The Freight Value USD field reflects the value declared by the customs agent.

• The Total Freight Value MXN field may include conversions based on the exchange rate at the time of declaration.

• Zero values typically indicate that the field was not filled in the official document, common in operations with Incoterms like DDP or DAP, where freight is bundled into the product price.

💡Pro tip: When analyzing total costs, always check the Incoterm. If it's DDP, the freight is already included in the FOB value and will not show up separately.
