Frequently Asked Questions
IMMEX is a Mexican tax program that lets manufacturers import materials duty-free for production and export. However, it requires Mexican government approval, ongoing compliance, annual audits, and significant administrative overhead. Our FTZ offers similar duty benefits without the Mexican bureaucracy.
Very similar. With IMMEX, you import to Mexico duty-free but face compliance costs. With our FTZ, goods never enter US commerce, so you pay zero US duties on re-export to Mexico. You avoid IMMEX compliance costs while getting the same duty benefit.
RFE is Mexico's version of an FTZ—duty-free storage zones in Mexico. Like IMMEX, RFE requires Mexican government approval and compliance. Our Laredo FTZ provides the same storage and duty benefits, located just 3 hours from Monterrey, without the Mexican regulatory burden.
Days, not months. There's no government approval process. Send us your goods with a commercial invoice and packing list, we store them in the FTZ, and you ship to Mexico when your customers order. Most clients are operational within a week.
Most manufacturing inputs: plastics, auto parts, electronics, mechanical components, raw materials—essentially anything destined for Mexican manufacturing. If it's not prohibited, we can store it.
When your Mexican customer orders, we prepare the shipment and coordinate with their customs broker. They clear it into Mexico under their IMMEX or standard import. We can also help coordinate the Mexican broker if needed.
