However, as of 2025, the Mexican Tax Authority (SAT) and Customs Agency (ANAM) have implemented stricter import requirements that are reshaping the international trade landscape. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, importing from China without a solid legal structure in Mexico is a serious risk: penalties, customs holds, and shipment blocks are becoming more frequent\u2014especially for companies that do not have a registered Importer of Record (IOR).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Changing in 2025?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new regulations introduced by SAT and ANAM aim to ensure full tax compliance and traceability, particularly for imports from Asia. The key red flags include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Undervalued invoices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing NOM labeling (Mexican Official Standards)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No valid Importer of Record (IOR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incomplete or delayed CFDI (digital tax receipt) upon entry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>New mandatory requirements include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detailed registration of the foreign supplier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time linkage between customs declaration and digital invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country of origin printed on packaging and documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active Mexican tax ID (RFC) under the importer\u2019s name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full compliance with non-tariff regulations (NOM, COFEPRIS, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Imports from China Under Closer Scrutiny?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mexican government has increased audits and cargo holds on shipments from China due to common issues such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Third-party intermediaries with no legal liability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undervalued commercial invoices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invalid certificates of origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect customs values impacting VAT and income tax declarations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, many foreign businesses have experienced blocked shipments, retroactive fines, or permanent blacklisting by the SAT.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does a Reliable IOR Protect You?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Importer of Record (IOR) is a legal and tax-responsible entity in Mexico that ensures your imports meet all compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Drago Logistics, we serve as your trusted IOR for China-to-Mexico imports, managing the entire legal process so your goods clear customs efficiently and legally.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our IOR service includes:<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SAT and customs registration on your behalf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full review of commercial invoice and packing list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accurate tariff classification (HTS code)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal importation with CFDI and official customs entry (pedimento)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Door-to-door coordination from Asia to Mexico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Needs This Service?<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foreign companies sourcing directly from Chinese factories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E-commerce brands shipping from Asia to Mexican customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Importers of industrial machinery, electronics, or OEM parts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent buyers on Alibaba, Made-in-China, 1688, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Businesses without a Mexican entity or RFC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importing from China Without an IOR?
