ORBIS advises our compliance community that Mexico is fully enforcing the new importation requirements where Certificate reprinting containing the HS Code is being requested. The Importer must be the holder of the Certificate to claim merchandise.

To avoid a blockage on your imports and to prevent incurring extended costs, we advise you to contact us prior to shipping products and ensure that the non-applicable NOMs are processed to allow importation.

Certification Extension June 30th, 2019

On May 31, 2019, Mexico announced an extension to June 30th for all applicants currently processing an approval. This extension allows them to import products while waiting for their final approval. Additionally, it provides a 90-day grace period to complete the process, during which they will also be allowed to import products. To qualify, the manufacturer must submit corroborative information to demonstrate they are in the process of obtaining the approval.
