To make an international operation involves more than hiring transport and ship goods from one country to another.
The import and export of goods in Mexico is subject to different requirements, customs, tax, documentary and regulatory, which may vary depending on the product and the characteristics of each operation.
To identify these obligations before moving the goods is critical to reduce risk, delays and unexpected costs.
What is needed for importing goods to Mexico?
The requirements depend on each trade and cargo, but can involve elements such as:
- Information and commercial documentation.
- Tariff classification of the goods.
- Compliance with tax obligations and customs.
- Registration in the registers, where appropriate.
- Payment of contributions applicable.
- Compliance of Regulations and Non-Tariff Restrictions.
- Permits, notices or certifications as required.
- Necessary documentation to make the customs clearance.
Before importing, it is important to determine exactly what merchandise is being marketed, and what provisions are applicable.
What requirements there are for export from Mexico?
The obligations for export also depend on the product, destination, and characteristics of the operation.
In addition to the commercial documentation and customs applicable, certain goods may require permits, certificates, notices, or other authorizations.
We must also consider the requirements imposed by the country of destination, as a product may meet the conditions necessary to get out of Mexico and may be subject to additional provisions to enter another market.
Why is it important to the tariff classification?
The tariff classification allows us to identify an merchandise within the nomenclature used for the operations of foreign trade.
From it can be determined elements such as tariffs, regulations, restrictions and other applicable requirements.
Incorrect classification can generate differences in contributions or breach of obligations related to the merchandise.
What goods have restrictions?
There is not a single rule for all goods.
Depending on the product, there may be measures related to safety, health, environment, business information, and the protection of certain industries or other regulatory objectives.
For this reason, the obligations should be reviewed specifically for each product, and operation.
Why review the requirements before shipment?
Detect an obligation when the goods are already in transit may lead to delays, additional costs and complications during the study.
