Mexico’s customs rules make importers more responsible
Recent changes to Mexico’s customs law make importers more responsible for what they declare, together with their customs broker. Errors in classification, value or inventory control can lead to penalties, seizures or suspension from the importers’ registry.
From Tampico, near the Port of Altamira, we review the tax and accounting side of your imports, help you keep your inventory control and registrations in order, and work alongside your customs broker. We are not a customs broker.

What importers should review
Each import creates tax and customs obligations: the declared value, the tariff classification, taxes paid and, for temporary imports, the inventory control that proves the goods were processed or exported.
A preventive review detects differences before the authority does, when they can still be corrected.
Who this service is for
Companies that import through the Port of Altamira or other customs offices.
Companies with temporary imports and inventory control.
Suppliers importing equipment and materials for the industry.
Companies that received a request or audit from the authority.
Companies registering in the importers’ registry for the first time.
