Mexico checks tyres against a NOM certificate held by the importer, and the label has to be in Spanish before the tyre is offered for sale. Both are arranged at quotation stage, not at Manzanillo. We supply the technical file the certification body asks for, and we flag any size the certificate does not cover.
The certificate is issued to the importer of record through an approved certification body. What we supply is the factory's test reports, the technical file and the manufacturing information the body audits.
The label carries the importer's name, RFC and address in Spanish, with the size, load and speed index and the country of origin. Artwork is approved before the first shipment so later loads do not need a new round of proofs.
The padrón de importadores and the sector registration are your side, but the invoice, the HS code and the product description have to match what is registered — we write the invoice to the description your broker gives us.
Mexico takes metric truck sizes and US inch-marked sizes side by side, so a single container often carries both. The packing list splits them clearly for the broker.
The sizes below are the ones that move most often in this market. Each one links to the patterns we can quote in it; a size that is not listed is still worth asking about, because the library runs to several hundred and the list moves with production.
Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas on the Pacific, Veracruz and Altamira on the Gulf. Pacific ports suit the transpacific sailings; the Gulf suits a US-east routing. A 20GP is the smallest order we take, and the load is built from the sizes your customers actually reorder.

Yes. The certificate is held by the importer, and what we provide is the factory file behind it: test reports, the manufacturing information and the size range. If the body needs a factory audit, we schedule it against production rather than against your order.
In China, before loading, so the tyre is saleable the day it clears. The artwork is approved once per family and reused, which keeps the cost off every container.
The Pacific is the shorter sailing and the usual route for a first order. The Gulf is used when the consignee is in the north-east or the box is consolidating with other suppliers.
Tell us the size, the pattern reference if you have one, the quantity and the destination port. We reply within one working day with availability, container loading and price.
