Sourcing from Mexico, answered.

Who answers, and in which language.

One person at the atelier owns your project and works with you in English, from the first message to the packing list. Mexico City sits in the Central time zone, so a buyer in Chicago, Dallas or Toronto shares most of the working day with the person answering. Artwork, proofs and approvals travel in English, and the specifications that reach the workshop bench are prepared by us in Spanish.

Who imports, and who clears the goods.

imprecxo is the exporter of record in Mexico. We prepare the commercial invoice, the packing list and the certificate of origin, and we hand the shipment to the carrier with the documentation complete. On your side you appear as the importer of record, and your customs broker files the entry.

When you would rather receive the goods delivered and cleared, we quote that way and the duties travel inside the price you approve.

What crosses, and under which agreement.

Goods manufactured in Mexico move to the United States and Canada under the North American trade agreement when they meet its rules of origin. We state the tariff classification we believe applies and we give your broker the evidence behind it, so the classification gets confirmed on your side before anything ships.

Duties, taxes and brokerage depend on the classification, the destination and the agreement in force on the day of entry. Your broker confirms them, and we never quote them as settled.

What we do not promise.

We publish no duty figures, no landed-cost estimates and no transit times on this page, because each of them depends on your classification, your destination and the day of entry. You receive them written, in your quotation, once the piece and the route are defined.
