Tariff classification: know your Mexican duties before you buy.
I tell you which tariff code your product falls under, how much you will pay in duties and which regulations apply. With that you decide whether importing makes sense, before paying the supplier.
The tariff code decides everything else: the general import duty, VAT, whether a NOM standard, a permit or a sector registry applies. A wrong code is paid twice: in the fine and in the days the goods sit at the border.
I hold a specialist diploma in tariff classification and classify every product from its real description, its technical sheet and, when needed, a sample. You get a duty estimate you can take to your supplier and your accountant before buying.

What people ask about this.
What are the import duties into Mexico?
They depend on the tariff code, the customs value and the country of origin. As a reference, you add the general import duty, 16% VAT on value plus duties, and the customs processing fee. I calculate it before you buy.
Does USMCA remove duties?
For goods that qualify as originating under USMCA, the general import duty is usually zero, but VAT and other regulations still apply and the origin has to be documented. I check whether your goods qualify.
Can I look up the code myself?
You can search the official tariff, but the importer and the broker are responsible for getting it right. Many products can fall under two or three codes with different duties; that is where I come in.
