Simplifying U.S. Exports to Mexico

For Immediate Release 

Expanding into international markets holds immense potential for business growth, but navigating the complexities of a foreign market can be challenging. If you’re considering exports to Mexico from the U.S., you’re entering a dynamic economy that offers lucrative opportunities for businesses. However, achieving success requires precise planning, legal compliance, and expert logistics. That’s where Supply Chain Solutions’ “Selling in Mexico” service comes in. 

From setting up a legal Mexican entity to ensuring compliance with Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) standards, managing cross-border transport, and fulfilling e-commerce in Mexico, we take care of the details so you can focus on growing your business. Our expertise goes beyond logistics—we also assist with certification, customs clearance, and even distribution to Amazon warehouses in Mexico. 

Why US Exports to Mexico? 

Mexico is a strategic market for U.S. companies due to its geographic proximity, robust trade ties under the USMCA, and a growing consumer base. Expanding into e-commerce in Mexico, particularly with platforms like Amazon Mexico, is a great way to tap into this market. However, entering this market isn’t without its challenges: legal registration, NOM certification, customs processes, and compliance with government reporting requirements can be daunting for newcomers. Our “Selling in Mexico” service is designed to eliminate these barriers, offering a streamlined approach to market entry. Here’s how we can help.

Setting Up a Legal Presence in Mexico

Establishing a legal presence in Mexico is the first step to doing business in the country. However, navigating the legal landscape can be complex. We simplify this process by helping you:

• Register a Mexican legal entity, such as a Sociedad Anónima (S.A.) or Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (S. de R.L.), owned by your U.S. company.   

• Choose the right entity type to fit your business model and operational goals.   

• Comply with Mexican corporate laws, including tax registration and legal documentation.   

With our support, you’ll have a strong legal foundation to operate confidently in Mexico.   

Ensuring NOM Certification Compliance

If your products require NOM certification for Mexico, you’ll need to meet the country’s Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) standards before selling them in the market.

These certifications ensure product safety, quality, and compliance with Mexican regulations. Supply Chain Solutions will help you:

• Determine whether your products require NOM certification or specific Mexico NOM standards.   

• Partner with accredited NOM labs to test and certify your products.   

• Secure the necessary NOM certificate to ensure compliance with Mexico NOMs certification regulations.   

Whether you’re new to NOM standards or need guidance on Norma Oficial Mexicana processes, we make it easy for your products to meet the required criteria for market entry. 

Simplifying Importation and Logistics 

Cross border trade is one of the most challenging aspects of selling in Mexico, but our expertise ensures the process is smooth. Supply Chain Solutions provides:   

• Customs Entry Support: Partner with trusted customs brokers to ensure your goods clear customs efficiently.   

• Transportation Services: Manage shipping and cross-border freight for timely and cost-effective delivery.   
• Paying Mexico’s VAT (IVA): Assist with calculating and paying the Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA), Mexico’s Value-Added Tax required for goods entering the country.   
• Handling Mexican Pedimento Requirements: Ensure that all shipments comply with Mexico’s pedimento documentation for customs clearance.  

Our hands-on approach ensures that your goods move seamlessly from the U.S. to Mexico, reducing logistical headaches. 

Managing Local Delivery and Mexico 3PL Warehouses 

Once your goods are in Mexico, ensuring they reach customers quickly and reliably is crucial. We assist with:   

• Organizing last-mile delivery solutions tailored to your business needs.   

• Leveraging a network of local carriers and Mexican trucking companies to optimize cost and efficiency.   

• Providing optional 3PL warehousing services in Mexico to support your distribution strategy.   

Whether your products are heading to customers’ homes or Amazon warehouses in Mexico, we have the infrastructure to meet your needs.   

Staying Compliant with Mexico’s Reporting Requirements 

Compliance doesn’t end with product certification and customs clearance. Mexican authorities require ongoing reporting to maintain legal operations. Supply Chain Solutions helps you:   

• Set up systems to comply with tax and regulatory reporting requirements.   

• Monitor updates to ensure you remain compliant with evolving government policies.   

• Provide continuous support to avoid penalties and disruptions to your business.   

Our proactive compliance services give you peace of mind, allowing you to focus on what matters most: growing your business.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

What is NOM certification, and why is it important?

NOM certification, or Norma Oficial Mexicana, is a set of regulatory standards that ensures products meet safety, quality, and compliance requirements in Mexico. It is mandatory for certain goods to obtain a NOM certificate before they can be legally sold in the country. Without this certification, your products may be rejected at customs or face penalties.

A Pedimento is an essential document required for customs clearance in Mexico. It provides details about your shipment, including taxes, duties, and compliance information. Supply Chain Solutions ensures that all Pedimento requirements are met, so your goods can clear customs without delays. 

How do I know if my product requires NOM certification?
