What is it?

What is it?

IMMEX (Industria Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de Servicios de Exportación) is Mexico's program that allows companies to temporarily import goods to manufacture, transform or repair them and return them abroad, with benefits in the payment of foreign trade taxes.

There are several modalities —holding, industrial, services, shelter and outsourcing— depending on the company's operating model.

The program is authorized by the Ministry of Economy. Delour manages the application, prepares the documentation and supports you in maintaining compliance.
