On June 26, Amazon Global Selling officially launched in Hangzhou. “Latin America Express Program” —By 2026, we will offer a one-stop solution to 3,000 Chinese brands, providing assistance with company registration in Brazil, optimization of Mexican RFC tax ID numbers, subsidies of up to $18,000, logistics cost reductions, and end-to-end support from an account manager.
Simply put:Amazon is footing the bill to help Chinese sellers navigate compliance and tax hurdles in Latin America.
However, there are only 3,000 spots available.
First, let's look at some basic data:
| norm | Brazilian | Mexico |
|---|---|---|
| E-commerce Market Size in 2025 | Approximately $86.5 billion | Approximately $45.3 billion |
| annual growth rate (AGR) | 20.7% | Ranked No. 1 Globally (24.61 TP3T) |
| online shopper | 120 million | — |
| Percentage of Cross-Border Goods Originating from China | 62% | — |
| Percentage of Online Shoppers Under 30 | 48% | — |
The Latin American retail e-commerce market is projected to reach nearly $190 billion by 2025, growing at 1.5 times the global average and serving a population of over 660 million.
Now let's look at the actual feedback from sellers:
The market is booming, and sellers are flocking to it, but Latin America has long been recognized as a “high-barrier market.” The Express Pass program is essentially designed to help sellers address these two issues:How do I register a company, and how do I obtain a tax ID number?
Brazil is not a market that can be tapped simply through “cross-border direct shipping.” To operate in compliance with regulations on Amazon Brazil,A Brazilian company in which a Chinese entity holds a controlling interest must be registered.
This involves: applying for a Brazilian CNPJ tax ID, notarizing the articles of incorporation, verifying the registered capital, opening a bank account, registering for state taxes... Every step is fraught with pitfalls.
The solution proposed by the Speedrun Project:
The Mexican RFC tax ID is the seller’s “tax identification number” in Mexico. Without an RFC, 36% income tax will be deducted directly from payments; if the RFC is non-compliant, there is a constant risk of the store being shut down.
The solution proposed by the Speedrun Project:
When the two subsidies are combined,A single brand can receive up to $18,000 (approximately 130,000 RMB)....which basically covers the registration costs, so Amazon is essentially giving away the compliance certification for free.
The entry requirements for the Speed Pass program are quite high; Amazon outlined several selection criteria during the press conference:
In other words, the logic behind this plan is:First, get your compliance in order, and I’ll provide a subsidy through Amazon, along with traffic and logistics support.
However, compliance isn’t a matter of “submitting an application and automatically getting approved.” The registration process for a Brazilian company typically takes 3–6 months, and if the documents submitted for the RFC tax ID are incomplete, the application will be rejected and you’ll have to start over.There are 3,000 spots available. You must meet the eligibility requirements before receiving the subsidy—if you’re even a step too slow, you’ll miss out.

Amazon is offering a $18,000 subsidy to help cover your registration fees, but the key is whether you can register your company before the 3,000 spots are snapped up.
