Business
Enterprise and high-volume customs programs
Request a program review for your Mexican import and export operation. We review lanes, program obligations, data controls and the proposed broker arrangement with your compliance, logistics and procurement teams.
Multi-port coverage by operating lane
Evaluate land, sea and air offices separately: the proposed filing arrangement, escalation owner, transport handoffs and contingency route for each lane. We review the offices you use today and those under consideration. Ask for confirmation of the actual operating scope before assigning a lane; a list of offices is not evidence of coverage.
IMMEX, temporary imports and virtual transfers
Review the flow from temporary entry through consumption, returns, regime changes and virtual transfers. For the proposed arrangement, ask how counterpart records, transfer instructions and unresolved balances are reconciled. SAT's RGCE contains the virtual-transfer procedure in rule 4.3.21; its conditions must be reviewed for the actual operation.

OEA and IVA-IEPS program handling
Set out the company's OEA (authorized economic operator) and IVA-IEPS certification status, obligations and internal owners. Ask how program changes, notices and exceptions reach the filing team. SAT addresses these company-certification schemes in RGCE title 7. We review the records and scope you describe; no certification or program benefit is established by this request.

Classification governance and change monitoring
Evaluate ownership of classification decisions, supporting product records, change approval and escalation of conflicting instructions. Agree who monitors official publications and how a change reaches affected items, origins and lanes. We review the approval trail and monitoring process you need; this site does not publish duty rates.
Inventory controls and data integration
Ask for an agreed pedimento (customs declaration) data-feed specification, field mapping, correction handling and reporting cadence. Review reconciliation with your inventory system and how missing records are escalated. SAT's 2026 RGCE index identifies Anexo 24 for inventory controls and Anexo 30 for credit/guarantee accounts. Their applicability belongs in the program review; no integration or software capability is assumed.

Pedimento audits, retention and authority reviews
Evaluate how an audit sample is selected, findings are assigned, supporting records are retained and authority requests are escalated. Agree who can retrieve the declaration, its attachments and the decision trail. Article 162 VII of the reformed Customs Law addresses the broker's electronic declaration file. We review record ownership and access with your team, without promising an audit outcome.

The 2026 liability changes and onboarding
The reform generally took effect January 1, 2026, with specified transitional exceptions. Article 54 addresses broker responsibility for declaration accuracy, regime, classification and supporting compliance documents; article 162 VI addresses client identification and a retained client file. Review onboarding evidence, document ownership and approval gates before the first assigned operation. The filing is made by a licensed agente aduanal.

Primary, secondary and contingency arrangements
Define the proposed role: primary broker, secondary support for selected lanes or contingency support when an existing route cannot be used. Review activation authority, shared product instructions, access to historical records and escalation responsibilities. Ask how conflicting instructions are resolved. The review does not imply that every requested arrangement or office can be accepted.
Transition planning and procurement
Review the open-operation list, unresolved documentation, inventory reconciliations and a staged cutover plan when changing or adding a broker. Identify who retains the historical file and who approves the first operation under the proposed arrangement. Describe your RFP schedule, evaluation criteria and requested role. Participation, operating scope and any data interfaces remain matters for review.
Questions for a procurement review
How should we assess multi-port coverage?
Ask for lane-by-lane confirmation of the proposed filing arrangement, scope and escalation owner across land, sea and air offices. Start the review with the offices used today and the proposed additions.
Can the review cover a backup role instead of a primary broker?
Yes. Describe the requested backup or secondary role, activation conditions and existing arrangements. The actual scope and whether it can be accepted are reviewed before an operating arrangement is agreed.
What should we bring for an IMMEX or certified-company review?
Have program status, internal owners, current workflows and unresolved exceptions ready for discussion. Do not upload program files here. The specialist will discuss the records needed for the proposed scope.
Can procurement ask about pedimento feeds and reporting?
Yes. Describe required fields, format, access controls, correction handling and reporting cadence. Interfaces and delivery arrangements are reviewed; no particular system integration is promised.
What should a transition plan resolve?
Resolve ownership of open operations, historical records, inventory reconciliations and the cutover decision. Identify who approves the initial lane and how exceptions are escalated.
Can we request RFP participation?
Select RFP participation in the program form and give its planned timing and scope. Keep confidential documents outside the form. Participation is reviewed rather than confirmed by submission.
Does submitting establish coverage or approval?
No. The request starts a program review. A customs specialist will contact you to schedule that review; it does not establish coverage, program eligibility or an accepted operating arrangement.
Review your proposed customs program
Describe your company, lanes, programs and procurement needs. Keep confidential records outside the form.
