Mexico’s NOM Certification and North American Integration Packaging Requirements​

Mexico’s transportation regulations align with NAFTA/USMCA standards while maintaining unique national requirements. All imported products must comply with NOM (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas) standards, with electrical goods requiring NOM-001-SCFI certification. Customs declarations must be submitted through the SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria) portal, with Spanish-language documentation mandatory for all commercial invoices and packing lists.​

Packaging must facilitate cross-border trade with the United States and Canada, using standardized pallet sizes (48×40 inches) compatible with North American material handling equipment. Food packaging must display “Información Nutricional” (Nutritional Information) in Spanish, with GMO products requiring explicit labeling (“Contiene Organismos Genéticamente Modificados”). Chemical products need “Ficha de Seguridad” (Safety Data Sheets) in Spanish, with bilingual (Spanish-English) hazard symbols per ANSI Z535 standards.
