Service Description

What Is the IMMEX / Maquiladora Program? First, a definition: a maquiladora is a factory in Mexico that’s owned and run by a foreign company. That company manufactures products in Mexico and exports them to other countries. One of the main cost-saving benefits is that the company is able to defer taxes when importing raw goods, materials, and equipment for manufacturing processes. They also pay lower tariffs when exporting finished goods to the U.S. Shelter You’ll be running your manufacturing operations under a “shelter,” an entity technically owned and run by IVEMSA.
