      I want to import my product into Mexico. Where do I start?

      Start with the product’s HS code / Mexican tariff classification. This helps identify which NOMs and other import requirements may apply.

      Next, review the product’s features, intended use, and technology to confirm the applicable testing, certification, labeling, telecom, or other regulatory requirements.

      The goal is to identify the right requirements before shipment so you can avoid unnecessary delays, added costs, or compliance issues at import.

      Key Steps for Mexico Market Access

      1. Identify the HS Code
      Determine the correct tariff classification for your product.

      2. Identify Applicable NOMs
      Review which Mexican Official Standards may apply based on the tariff classification and the product itself.

      3. Confirm Product Requirements
      Consider the product’s features, intended use, and technology to determine the applicable regulatory requirements.

      4. Prepare Before Shipment
      Make sure the required approvals and documentation are in place before the product is shipped.

      Can I test my new product to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 if the power supply is only certified to IS 13252 (Part 1):2010?

      Generally, no. If the power supply is considered a critical component of the end product, it must meet the applicable requirements of IS/IEC 62368-1:2023.

      A power supply that complies only with IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 will not be accepted in the Critical Component List for a product being registered to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023.

      However, BIS allows the critical component and the end product to be processed in parallel under the applicable Parallel Testing Guidelines.
