Customs issues are one of the top market access challenges that U.S. companies face when exporting their products overseas. Between 2006 and 2009, U.S. exporters made numerous customs errors when shipping to Mexico, including mistakes in product classification, valuation, NAFTA Certificates of Origin, documentation, packaging and labeling, and product marks. These errors had a significant impact on their bottom line.
If not planned for and managed properly, these issues can cost American companies hundreds and thousands of dollars each year worldwide in customs fees, legal costs, and lost sales. It is essential when looking to export for the first time to any market, including Mexico that U.S. exporters properly complete and submit the essential documentation for exports to Mexico.
