215.3 Billion Dollars in Latin America, the first batch of people who went in have started to earn, are you still on the sidelines? (with a guide for newbies to enter)
Published: 2026-04-03

For cross-border traders, have you heard more and more people mentioning ”Latin America” lately?

Not without reason.

In 2026, the Latin American e-commerce market is expected to reach a size of $215.31 billionThe

Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico led the way, with 841 TP3T of mobile purchases.

More to the point - this market, right now, isn't that rolled up.

When the U.S. market is bleeding, and European compliance is getting more and more expensive, Latin America is the place where ”it's not too late”.

Today's article, in one article: why is Latin American e-commerce worth doing? What are the potholes to figure out before you go in? How can Enterprise Caiying help you land in compliance?

01 Why Latin America? Why now?

① The platform dividend window is still open

Mercado Libre, Shopee Brazil Station, Amazon Mexico, these platforms have traffic policies for Chinese sellers, which are still friendly. Early to go in, early to occupy the pit, early to establish the evaluation system. When competitors are pouring in, the dividend will disappear.

② Middlemen are being bypassed

In the past to do Latin America, many sellers have to rely on local agents, to get the profit layers of exploitation. Now with the improvement of logistics infrastructure, Chinese merchants can directly reach the end consumer, profit margins increased significantly.

③ TikTok Shop Mexico, already a reality

In Q3 2025, TikTok Shop Mexico market GMV grew by 1,18% YoY. Territory-wide sales surpassed 42 billion pesos ($2.32 billion) during the Hot Sale promotion.

Mexico has more than 85 million monthly active TikTok users, with an average daily user time of 1.5 hours.

Your consumers, right there, are swiping through short videos, waiting for you to sell to them.

02 Before entering Latin America, these are the three mountains on which many people have fallen.

❌ No compliant corporate entity, accounts blocked, funds not accessible

Many sellers want to quickly start, directly with a personal account or borrow someone else's company to operate. As a result, when the platform is checked, the number is blocked; when the funds are examined, they are frozen. The loss is not only the current profit, but also the layout of the entire market.

❌ Overpayment of taxes is the norm when you don't understand local tax rules

Brazil's tax system is recognized as one of the most complex in the world. VAT, industrial tax, social contribution tax ...... are layered on top of each other, and figuring it out on your own without professional guidance pays more in tuition than it does in taxes.

❌ Funds return is stuck in the foreign exchange control, the money in the account can not be withdrawn.

Some countries in Latin America, foreign exchange control is relatively strict, slow payback, more formalities. Many sellers in Mexico, Brazil sold very well, but the money just can not come back, the tighter the capital chain.

✅ First: registering a compliant business entity

  • U.S. companies:Directly reusable for the Mexican market (TikTok's ”America through Mexico” program)
  • Local entities:Building local trust and tax compliance after getting bigger

✅ Second: Open a professional cross-border collection account

Support Brazilian real, Mexican peso real-time settlement, funds back no longer jammed. Every incoming account has compliance vouchers, so that you can do your accounts, file taxes and check your accounts.
