Customs clearance is processed through the Integral Customs Automatic System (SAII), which is regulated by the Tax Administration Service (SAT). SAT, under the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for inspecting all imports into the country and overseeing the General Customs Administration. The SAII system allows the electronic exchange of information between the General Customs Administration, customs offices, customs brokers, warehouses and banking institutions authorised to collect duties related to foreign trade. The document for clearing imports into the country is the Pedimento. The Pedimento is electronically submitted to Customs by the broker and is validated by Customs with an eight (8) digit electronic seal after which the customs broker generates an electronic signature in the form of a bar code. Once the Pedimento is validated, the customs broker on behalf of the importer pays the applicable duties and taxes. An electronic payment seal from the Administracion General de Aduanas is generated on the Pedimento confirming payment of duties. This document and the merchandise are presented to the Customs official who reviews the documentation and attests to its compliance with the information filed electronically by a second electronic seal. The mechanism for random inspection (green, yellow, red channel) is activated and customs clearance is granted by way of a third and final seal, Selección Autorizada, once all inspections are finalized depending on the channel selected. This final seal proves that the goods cleared customs. Imports of plant and animal products are regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture (SAGARPA). Processed foods and beverages are regulated by the Ministry of Health (SSA). Imports must comply with the standards known as NOMs of each regulating authority. Imports with a value of USD$ are subject to full inspection by SENASICA (the inspection division of SAGARPA) at the port of entry prior to customs release. Once inspected, a certificate of inspection is issued by SENASICA and is used by the customs broker to expedite the customs clearance. 2

4 Customs Regimes 1. Definitive Importation When importing goods on a definitive basis, the importer must pay import duties and taxes prior to customs release. The official document for import declaration is: Pedimento The following documents must be enclosed with the Pedimento: Commercial invoice Bill of Lading or AWB Import permits, Sanitary Certificates, Notice of Importation when applicable Certificate of Origin required in order to claim preferential treatment under Mexico and EU Free Trade Agreement 2. Temporary Import Goods may be temporarily imported for two purposes: Export in the same condition Processing, manufacturing, transformation or repaired for further exportation The document to carry out temporary import operations is the Pedimento, which must be filled out with the applicable codes for this type of importation. 3. Fiscal Deposit Goods destined for fiscal deposit regime may be subject to operations such as conservation, exhibition, labelling, packaging, inspection and the taking of samples, provided the nature and customs value of the goods is not altered as a result of such operations. Import duties, taxes and, where applicable, antidumping duties and the customs processing fee, are determined at the time of importation but are not paid unless the goods are destined to definitive importation. The document for fiscal deposit regime is the Pedimento, which is filled out with the applicable codes. 4. In-Transit There are two types of in-transit importations: Domestic: Used by Mexican importers to clear goods through the customhouse closest to their facility, rather than where the goods enter into Mexico International Transit: goods which need to cross the country and leave Mexico 3

5 The importer of goods under domestic in-transit regime pays duties and taxes adjusted for inflation during transit time to the Customs office where the goods are cleared. The document used for entry under domestic or international transit regime is the in-transit Pedimento, which must be filled out with the applicable codes for this type of regime. 4

6 List of Customs Procedures Codes Below are the most common procedure codes used for importation of goods into Mexico. The procedure code is entered in the field labeled Pedimento Code : A1 Definitive importation C1 Definitive importation to the Mexican northern border zone (duty exempt special economic zone) A2 Temporary importation of goods by PITEX companies 1 H2 Temporary importation of goods by Maquiladoras 1 BP Temporary importation of samples A4 Importation of goods destined to fiscal deposit regime G1 Withdrawal of goods subject to fiscal deposit regime to be definitively imported K2 Withdrawal of goods subject to fiscal deposit regime to be returned to their place of origin H5 Withdrawal of goods subject to fiscal deposit regime for temporary importation by Maquiladoras T3 Domestic in-transit regime T7 International in-transit regime through national territory 1 These are temporary importation programs that allow for the temporary entry of goods into Mexico for the purpose of repair, transformation, or manufacture. These programs require that a specific percentage of the processed, repaired, or transformed goods be exported abroad. A certain percentage of these goods can be entered for consumption. However, customs duties, countervailing duties, and most charges will be due at the time of filing the importation. 5
