Sourcing from Mexico — FAQ
Why is Mexico a top nearshoring destination?
Proximity to the US enables land freight in days rather than weeks of ocean shipping. USMCA provides duty-free access for qualifying goods. Time-zone alignment simplifies communication. Rising Asian shipping costs and supply chain disruptions have accelerated nearshoring to Mexico significantly since 2020.
What does Mexico manufacture best?
Automotive vehicles and parts (a top-5 global auto exporter), electronics and appliances, medical devices (Tijuana cluster), aerospace components, and agricultural products (avocados, berries, tomatoes, tequila). The northern border states host the densest manufacturing.
How do USMCA rules of origin work?
To qualify for duty-free treatment, goods must meet regional value content requirements — a specified percentage of the product's value must originate in North America. Automotive has particularly strict rules (75% regional content). Your supplier must provide a USMCA certificate of origin to claim benefits.
Is Mexico cost-competitive with China?
For the North American market, the total landed cost (including faster shipping, lower inventory, duty savings and reduced supply chain risk) often makes Mexico competitive with or cheaper than China, even when unit labour costs are higher. The advantage is strongest for bulky, heavy or time-sensitive goods.
