Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Mexico
Can I import robots duty-free under the IMMEX program?
Yes. IMMEX-registered companies can temporarily import robots and automation equipment duty-free when used for export manufacturing. The equipment must remain under IMMEX registration. We help clients navigate IMMEX paperwork and customs clearance — typical processing time is 2–3 weeks.
What certifications do robots need in Mexico?
Robots must comply with NOM (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas) electrical safety standards and may require UL certification if operating in binational supply chains. For automotive, IATF 16949 process certification is typically required. We handle all certification documentation.
How does USMCA affect robot investment decisions in Mexico?
USMCA requires 75% regional content for duty-free auto trade. Automating in Mexico (vs. importing from Asia) helps OEMs meet regional value content rules. Robots manufactured in North America count toward regional content. We provide USMCA compliance consulting as part of deployment.
Do you offer Spanish-language support in Mexico?
Yes — full Spanish-language documentation, training, and 24/7 support. Our team covers major manufacturing corridors: Monterrey, Querétaro, Guanajuato (Bajío), Puebla, Juárez, and Tijuana.
What's the ROI of nearshoring automation in Mexico vs. manufacturing in China?
Typical total landed cost savings of 15–25% vs. China when factoring in shipping time (2 days vs. 30 days), tariff avoidance (USMCA duty-free vs. Section 301 tariffs), and supply chain resilience. Robot payback period in Mexico: 12–18 months for high-mix operations.
