Importer of Record · Mexico
Nearshoring is moving the tech map to Mexico. Your imports should not wait for a legal entity.
Aerodoc acts as your Importer of Record, so you can import and deploy hardware in Mexico while your competitors are still doing paperwork.
As companies move production and distribution closer to the United States, Mexico has become one of the region’s fastest-growing technology markets. That opportunity comes with real import requirements: product certifications, duties and taxes, and documentation that are difficult to manage from abroad. As your Importer of Record (IOR), Aerodoc becomes the legal importer in Mexico and handles those requirements for you.
Aerodoc provides Importer of Record services built for technology, from HS classification through compliance and final delivery. For background on the market itself, see how to leverage Mexico’s status as Latin America’s new tech hub.

The nearshoring wave
Production and distribution move next door to the US market.
2
Tech demand spikes
Data centers, plants, and offices all need imported hardware, fast.
3
Entity-free entry
An IOR removes the slowest step of market entry: local incorporation.
Nearshoring and the Mexico Opportunity
Nearshoring has pushed a wave of technology investment into Mexico, from data centers to distribution operations serving the United States. For hardware vendors and integrators, the question is no longer whether to enter Mexico, but how to import there quickly and compliantly. Using an Importer of Record removes the need to register a local entity, which is often the slowest part of market entry.

F.A.Q.
Can I import into Mexico without a local company?
Yes. With Aerodoc as your Importer of Record, you do not need to register a Mexican entity. Aerodoc is the legal importer responsible for compliance, duties, and taxes.
Do my products need NOM certification?
Many technology products do. NOM is Mexico’s mandatory product-standards certification, and Aerodoc confirms whether it applies to your equipment and manages the compliance path as part of the service.
Does Aerodoc also handle exports from Mexico?
Yes. Aerodoc can act as Exporter of Record (EOR) as well, which is useful for returns, redeployment, or moving equipment on to another market.
