Although the supplier's tariff classification can be considered as a reference, it's important to always assign the tariff code and NICO based on Mexico's Tariff to ensure proper customs compliance for your operations.

Each product has a tariff code assigned to determine the tariff and non-tariff import requirements. If the tariff code is not correctly assigned, customs authorities may detain the goods, seize them, or impose fines if they believe there was an intention to evade taxes.
