Peacock Tariff Consulting works with Mexican exporters and U.S. companies running Mexican maquila operations. We focus on USMCA + IMMEX layering, Mexican-side certification, U.S.-side compliance, and bilingual coordination across SAT and CBP. Independent of any customs brokerage; trilingual capability.
This guide covers Mexico-U.S. Tariff Consultant Pillar Guide. For SMB importers and exporters, the practical implementation depends on volume, sector, and operational structure.
For background, see /usmca-cusma/ and our complete cross-border practice.
USMCA + IMMEX layering
Most tariff-efficient Mexican structure. USMCA provides U.S. preferential rates and Section 122 exemption; IMMEX provides Mexican-side input duty deferral.
Maquila operations
Mexican-side production for U.S. export. IMMEX certification provides procedural simplification and duty deferral on inputs.
Cross-border compliance
Texas-Mexico (Laredo, El Paso), Arizona-Mexico (Nogales), California-Mexico (Otay Mesa, Calexico). Different operational profiles.
Bilingual coordination
SAT/Aduanas correspondence, supplier certificates, U.S. importer documentation – coordinated bilingually.
