The Guardia Nacional said on Friday the four skulls, believed to be human, were found wrapped in aluminium foil and plastic inside a cardboard box at a courier located at Queretaro airport, some 200 kilometres north-west of Mexico City.
The remains came from the municipality of Apatzingán, in the west-central region of the Mexican state of Michoacán, and were addressed to the town of Manning in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the Guardia Nacional said in a statement.
The force said he parcel did not carry the appropriate permits to export human remains, adding that an investigation would be carried out.
