Your first business import to Mexico
Organize the importer, product and transport details before your first shipment leaves. Request a quote while you are still planning so we can review the questions that may affect the booking.
Establish who will import
Identify the company intended to import, its RFC (tax registration) and padrón de importadores (importer registry) status. SAT publishes the registration conditions; ask for a review if your setup is incomplete.
Official reference: SAT: importer registration
Build a usable product file
Collect descriptions, materials, model numbers, quantities, origin and intended use. A seller’s short invoice description may leave questions unanswered; keep specifications available for the classification review.
- Make invoice and packing quantities easy to reconcile.
- Separate where the goods were made from where they ship from.
- Ask about NOM (Mexican official standards) checks before committing to a delivery date.
Official reference: Secretaría de Economía: NOM rules
Plan a sequence, not a promised deadline
Discuss the importer file, product review, document preparation, transport and delivery as separate milestones. Avoid booking on the assumption that registration or clearance finishes on a fixed day.
- Name who answers document questions and who books transport.
- Ask the quote to distinguish brokerage, transport and any third-party handling.
- Explain whether the goods are already in transit; do not hide an urgent deadline.
Start with your first shipment.
The business import form accepts unknown classification and planning timelines.
