Exporting to Mexico
Mexico is Latin America’s second-largest economy after Brazil and a key market for automotive parts, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and advanced technology. Under the EU-Mexico Global Agreement, Dutch goods benefit from preferential import duties. Schiphol offers direct cargo flights to Mexico City (MEX) via KLM Cargo and AeroMéxico Cargo. Cargo-to-cargo transit typically takes 12–16 hours.
Customs & regulations
Mexican customs (SAT/Aduana) are known for thorough inspections. Every shipment requires a proper commercial invoice, packing list, a registered Mexican RFC number from the importer, and a NOM compliance certificate for many product categories. COFEPRIS registrations are required for food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Practical tips
- Work exclusively with a Mexican Importer or Record (IOR) or agente aduanal—self-clearance is generally not possible
- NOM certification must be arranged in advance, otherwise the shipment will be held at the airport
- Ensure Spanish documentation and accurate HS classification according to Mexican regulations
Aircargo.nl works with fixed agentes aduanales in Mexico City and handles the entire documentation chain—including NOM coordination and the EU-Mexico certificate of origin—for smooth processing.
