FAQs
What is IMMEX, and how does it benefit businesses?
The IMMEX program offers businesses the opportunity to streamline their operations and save on taxes. Under the program, companies can import materials duty-free and VAT-free, as long as they are used in manufacturing in Mexico.
Can you explain the key requirements for participating in the IMMEX program?
The IMMEX program is complex, with stringent requirements that every company must follow. In order to qualify, businesses must:
- Export at least $500,000 of finished products annually, or their exported finished products must account for at least 10% of their annual sales
- Detail exactly what materials they will importing and how those materials will be used in products for export
- Use a compliant inventory control system and adhere to the mandated import/export timelines for their industry and/or products
The program also requires regular reporting and adherence to all applicable customs regulations. Amigo can ensure your company meets all IMMEX requirements and maintains ongoing compliance.
What services does your company offer to assist with IMMEX compliance?
Amigo offers comprehensive IMMEX services, including warehousing, customs compliance, logistics, virtual import/export management, and expert consulting.

How can IMMEX help companies reduce their manufacturing costs?

How can the IMMEX program streamline customs procedures for businesses?
The IMMEX program significantly simplifies customs procedures for qualifying businesses and goods, expediting processing and reducing paperwork and fees.
What industries can benefit the most from participating in the IMMEX program?
