Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most
- What does Mexico mainly import?
- Electronic components such as microchips, semiconductors and circuit boards; auto parts and engines; gasoline, diesel and natural gas; polymers, chemicals and steel for industry; and staple grains such as yellow corn, soybeans and wheat.
- What do I need to import into Mexico?
- An active tax ID (RFC) and e-signature, registration in the importers' registry (and the sector registry if your product requires it), a customs broker, compliance with the NOM standards and non-tariff regulations for your goods, and payment of import taxes: duty, customs processing fee and VAT.
- How long does an import from China take?
- By ocean, usually three to five weeks port to port into Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas, plus customs clearance and delivery. By air it takes days. The exact time depends on the origin port, the carrier and the season.
- Do you bring in grain or fuel in bulk?
- Only on behalf of companies that already hold the permits, quotas and authorizations the law requires. We coordinate transport and clearance with specialized operators; the permits belong to the importer.
