I have been doing international imports into Mexico for the past five years from various companies. Had there been no declaration, I could of showed them a receipt paying $30 for the screen and $35 for shipping, and no tax, nor collection fees would have been been due. This has happened on many occasions.
Try opening your mind and reading all the helpful replies that have been made to help you understand.
Mexico's method of calculating duty and tax on imports is the same as every other country: it's based on the transaction. The transaction is the total value of goods and the cost of shipping (insurance if there was any is included in the transaction value) to derive a total value. The total value (CIF) decides what duty and tax is applied.
Your previous packages that you didn't pay any duty/tax on were probably waived through for whatever reason. That happens all the time.
If you had 100x PinePhone LCD screens as separate orders may be 99x of them would be waived.
This time an exception happened, unfortunately.
I get it your mind is closed about this and you have a different opinion - please let us know how this works out in the end?
