Magnitud Solutions was buying high-cost sensors from domestic suppliers. They had already identified manufacturers in China and Brazil offering the same product at a lower price, but there was an operational block: no importer registry. Without that clearance with the SAT, importing directly wasn't an option.
The registry problem
Getting an importer registry involves a clearance process that takes time, capital, and administrative work. For an SME testing a new sourcing origin, that process can stall the decision for months.
Importing through 2DL's own registry removes that bottleneck: Magnitud was able to start its operation with China and Brazil without registering on its own.
What we did
Damián Hernández at 2DL structured the full operation from origin coordination through customs clearance in Mexico.
Correct tariff classification was central to the work. A misassigned tariff line can mean overpaid duties, delays at customs, or worse, a fine. 2DL ran the analysis before the first shipment and presented it alongside the quote, so Magnitud could see the projected savings before committing to the order.
Result
When the first shipment arrived, the quote 2DL had presented held up in reality: 41% savings versus the domestic purchase price, with full customs compliance.
The savings didn't come from renegotiating price with the same supplier. They came from having access to a different origin, and from the tariff classification and operation being set up correctly from the start so that saving arrived intact.
Magnitud Solutions remains an active 2DL client.
Overpaying because importing directly seems complicated?
