Expand your business from the United States to all of Latin America with Mercado Libre.
If you have stock in the United States and want to sell in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, or Argentina, Mercado Libre’s Cross Border Trade (CBT) program may be the perfect gateway. This system allows international sellers to offer their products in different countries, while Mercado Libre handles the entire logistics and visibility process.
What is Cross Border Trade?
CBT is Mercado Libre’s international trade program that connects sellers in the United States with millions of buyers in Latin America. Through a localized store, products are listed in the language, currency, and conditions of the destination country, and international shipments are managed through logistics partners such as DHL and UPS.
This means that from your US warehouse, you can reach new markets without having to have a physical operation in each country.
What are the advantages of selling through CTB?
- Direct access to the largest markets in Latin America.
- Publications in local currencies and adapted to each country.
- Simplified logistics, without the need for a local distribution center.
- Participation in commercial events such as Hot Sale, Black Friday, or Christmas.
However, opening an account as an international seller on Mercado Libre is no easy task. It requires validation, compliance with tax regulations, and specific logistics agreements.
Connect your e-commerce with more than 300 million buyers
E-commerce in Latin America continues to grow rapidly, and Mercado Libre is the leading online sales channel in countries like Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. This is a unique opportunity to position your products in high-demand emerging markets.
