Mexican Custom Houses
Mexican Custom Houses are highly efficient and reliable in clearance procedures.
Free Trade Zones
Mexico has taken another step toward becoming more competitive globally by establishing its two first foreign trade zone. Mexico's first foreign trade zones are located in two different industrial parks located in the city of San Luis Potosí (with the state of the same name). The first one, Logistik FTZ, was established as part of a company's (Grupo Empresarial Logistik) industrial park, and the second one, Parque Logistico/Interpuerto is a co-investment between Hines and Valoran Corporation, a regional group, which builds "integrated logistics centers.“
The centers are located near a railroad line and the main trade highway that runs north and south on the eastern side of Mexico between Mexico City and Nuevo Laredo (across from Laredo, Texas). Since they are multi-modal terminals, cargo can be switched between truck and rail containers.
The new foreign trade zone designation is allowed under a recent law that requires the zone to operate a Mexican customs office.
Just as foreign trade zones work in the United States, duties and tariffs are deferred until the merchandise is about to enter the local marketplace. The Mexico version of the foreign trade zone reportedly permits raw materials and components to enter Mexico duty-free for manufacturing, assembly and other services (similar to the Maquiladora industry in Mexico).
The key benefit of Mexico's new foreign trade zone law is that when finished merchandise is ready to leave the zone, taxes are paid only if the merchandise is to be released into the marketplace of Mexico. The merchandise bound for the United States or other foreign markets leaves Mexico free.
