Importing to Mexico for a business
Start a definitive-import review before booking your shipment to Mexico. We review the company, goods and route so the quote can address the paperwork and clearance stages together.
Start with the importer file
SAT’s importer-registration guidance lists RFC (tax registration) and e.firma among its conditions. Tell us your padrón de importadores (importer registry) status and which company will appear as the importer.
- Have the company’s tax details and current registry status ready for review.
- Identify the person responsible for the importer file and shipment documents.

Review the authorization and the goods
Discuss the encargo conferido (authorization to act for the importer), then review the fracción arancelaria (tariff classification), origin, materials and intended use. SAT publishes guides for managing the authorization.
- Keep product specifications and any existing classification available.
- Ask which RRNA (non-tariff regulations and restrictions) and NOM (Mexican official standards) checks belong in the shipment review.

From the value file to release
Plan the review around the invoice and freight costs, manifestación de valor (customs valuation statement), pedimento (customs declaration), presentation, any inspection and release. These are discussion stages, not a guaranteed sequence or clearance time.
- Ask what information is needed for valuation and the declaration.
- Agree who tracks customs presentation, any document request and delivery after release.
