Exporting to Mexico
Mexico is Latin America’s second largest economy after Brazil and a key market for automotive parts, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and high-tech goods. Under the EU-Mexico Global Agreement, Dutch goods benefit from preferential import duties. Schiphol has 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 correct commercial invoice, packing list, a registered Mexican RFC number from the importer, and a NOM conformity declaration for many product categories. COFEPRIS registrations are required for foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Practical Tips
- Work only with a Mexican Importer or Record (IOR) or an agente aduanal — self-clearing is generally not possible
- NOM certification must be arranged in advance; otherwise the shipment will be held at the airport
- Expect Spanish-language documentation and correct HS classification according to Mexican regulations
Aircargo.nl works with fixed agente aduanal partners in Mexico City and manages the entire documentation chain — including NOM coordination and the EU-Mexico issuer’s declaration — for smooth processing.
