To import solar panels, inverters and electrical equipment into Mexico, we review the classification of each component, the electrical safety and labeling NOMs that apply, and the country of origin, because tariffs change for countries without a trade agreement with Mexico.
Main requirements
- Importer registry.
- Technical data sheets for panels, inverters, racking and wiring.
- NOMs when they apply, such as NOM-003-SCFI-2014 for electrical product safety.
- USMCA certification of origin if the equipment qualifies.
What to check
- The tariff depends on the origin and the tariff code; since 2026 Mexico applies higher tariffs to many goods from countries without a trade agreement, such as China, so check the exact tariff code of your equipment before importing.
- Lithium storage batteries: hazardous materials in transport.
- Projects with phased deliveries and storage in Laredo, TX.
- Glass and fragile equipment: packing and handling.
How Eilan handles it
- We classify your product in Mexico’s tariff schedule (TIGIE), including its NICO code, before the shipment leaves.
- We check the permits, NOMs (Mexican official standards) and registries that apply to your tariff code and country of origin.
- Mexican clearance in Nuevo Laredo and U.S. entry in Laredo by the same team, plus trucking and warehousing in Laredo, TX.
- If you or your buyer are not yet in Mexico’s importer registry (padrón de importadores), our Mexican importer-of-record service can import for you.
This guide is for information only. Requirements change with the tariff code, origin and customs regime; before every shipment we confirm with you what applies to your case.
