Customs Consulting in Mexico
Specialized guidance so your company meets customs regulations and makes better decisions in its foreign trade operations.
What customs consulting is and when you need it
If your company imports, exports, or is planning to expand into international markets, customs consulting gives you clarity on which regulations apply, how to meet them, and how to reduce risk in each operation. It's not just paperwork: it's about your company making informed foreign trade decisions.
At 2DL we guide you through current customs regulations, correct product classification, and strategies to optimize your processes. If you already have active operations, we also review what you're doing to catch inconsistencies before SAT does.
What's included
- Guidance on current customs regulations (Ley Aduanera, LIGIE, non-tariff regulations)
- Consulting on tariff classification for your products
- Advisory on foreign trade regulations that apply to your industry
- Support for import and export operations
- Strategies to reduce customs and tax risk
- Documentation review before clearance
How we work at 2DL
A foreign trade consulting engagement starts with understanding what your company operates: what goods you import or export, through which customs point, under what Incoterms, and under what regime. With that context, we review whether your current tariff classification is correct, whether there are prior permits you should have, and whether your documentation process has tax-risk gaps.
The result isn't a 40-page report. It's a list of concrete actions: fractions to review, permits to file, inconsistencies to fix before SAT catches them. If after the consulting engagement you want 2DL to execute the clearance or the correction, we can continue. If you'd rather manage it internally, you walk away with a clear map.
FAQ: customs consulting
How is consulting different from customs clearance?
Clearance is the operational process for each import or export: pedimento, tax payment, cargo release. Consulting is advisory work on regulations, classifications, and strategy. Both can be contracted together or separately.
What kind of company needs customs consulting?
Companies starting to import, companies already operating but unsure about their tariff classification, and high-volume businesses looking to reduce risk ahead of a SAT audit.
How long does a consulting engagement take?
A specific tariff fraction review can be resolved in a day. A full diagnosis of your foreign trade operation takes 3-7 business days depending on the volume of operations to review, plus any follow-up questions from your side.
Is the consulting confidential?
Yes. Everything we review with your company is confidential between 2DL and your business. We don't share operational or classification data with third parties.
Who this service is for
Customs consulting is useful both for companies starting foreign trade operations and for businesses already operating that want to confirm their process meets current regulations. It also applies to companies under a SAT audit or preparing before an inspection arrives. There's no minimum operation volume to request consulting: a single tariff classification in doubt already justifies the call.
Foreign companies evaluating whether to import into Mexico for the first time often start here too, before committing to a shipment, so they know exactly what regulatory footprint and documentation to expect once cargo is moving.
