Independent resource on Mexico export manufacturing
IMMEX, nearshoring and cross-border logistics, explained for US buyers.
Plain-language guidance to evaluate manufacturing in Mexico before you sign a supplier, ship across the border or commit to a nearshoring plan — written for procurement, supply chain and operations teams.
Where to start
Start with the decision you are facing
Understand IMMEX
What the IMMEX program is, why it matters for US buyers, and what it does and does not mean when a Mexican supplier says they "have IMMEX".
Qualify a Mexican supplier
The checklist that separates a supplier that can actually take a US order from one that cannot: IMMEX status, customer-supplied materials, inventory control and border lanes.
Move freight across the border
Laredo cross-docking, drayage and IMMEX warehousing — how the pieces fit and how to evaluate a provider without losing document control.
Read the compliance source
For the underlying rules, the Spanish IMMEX hub covers the program, temporary imports, pedimentos and inventory control in depth.
