Shipping containers at a port
1

We Advise

Product viability assessment, tariff classification guidance, and a detailed cost estimate before you commit to shipping. We help you understand exactly what it takes to bring your product into Mexico.

2

We Connect

We match you with vetted, licensed customs brokers (agentes aduanales) and logistics providers from our partner network, based on your product category, port of entry, and volume.

3

We Coordinate

We manage the process end-to-end: Padrón registration, document review, compliance verification, and communication between you and your customs broker through delivery to Amazon FBA.

Important: Tally does not directly perform import operations, customs clearance, or freight logistics. These services are provided by licensed third-party customs brokers and logistics companies in our partner network. Tally acts as a coordinator and advisor, facilitating the connection between you and qualified service providers. You contract directly with each provider for their services.

What We Coordinate For You

Everything you need to navigate Mexico’s import requirements — managed through our platform.

Tariff Classification Advisory

Guidance on your 10-digit tariff code (fracción arancelaria) to help determine duty rates and regulatory requirements. Final classification is performed by the licensed customs broker.

Import Cost Estimation

A detailed estimate of all expected costs before you ship: duties, taxes, broker fees, transport, and handling. So you can make informed decisions with full visibility.

Padrón de Importadores Registration

We assist with your registration in SAT’s Padrón de Importadores — the mandatory registry that authorizes your entity to import. We also coordinate Padrón Sectorial for protected industries (textiles, footwear, chemicals).

NOM Labeling Coordination

We coordinate with specialized labeling partners to produce compliant Spanish-language oversticker labels: NOM-050 (commercial info), NOM-141 (cosmetics), and other applicable standards.

Customs Broker Matching

We connect you with licensed customs brokers (agentes aduanales) from our vetted partner network. Matched by product category, port of entry, and volume. You contract directly with the broker.

Document Review & Guidance

We review your commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and technical data sheets before submission to help avoid delays at customs.

Encargo Conferido Coordination

We help prepare the Encargo Conferido — the formal authorization for a customs broker to act on your entity’s behalf for import operations.

FBA Logistics Guidance

We coordinate with logistics providers for land transportation from customs facilities to Amazon FBA fulfillment centers in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, or Toluca.
