US company without a Mexican entity
Request a review of who will import into Mexico before agreeing to deliver the goods there. Tell us your US company’s role, the Mexican buyer and whether an importer has already been identified.
Separate seller, buyer and importer
List the legal names and roles involved, then discuss which party can act as importer for the proposed shipment. SAT’s registration guidance is the starting reference for the importer file.

Discuss DDP and DAP before signing
Bring the proposed DDP or DAP delivery term and the sales agreement to the review. Ask who will arrange the customs filing, provide documents, pay each cost and take delivery; a delivery label alone does not answer the company-setup questions.
- Name the Mexican buyer and intended delivery location.
- Explain whether you sell once or plan recurring shipments.
- Identify any importer arrangement already proposed by your customer.
Compare the operational choices
Discuss an existing customer importing, a proposed third-party importer arrangement or establishing a Mexican entity with your advisers. We review the shipment needs; we do not promise that an entity-free arrangement is available or provide company-formation advice.
