The Historical Moment

The rules of the game have changed in your favor.

The entry into force of the new agreement eliminates decades of commercial friction. It's no longer just about exporting; it's about optimizing supply chains, shielding intellectual property, and winning government contracts in previously closed markets.

  • Origin accumulation: Use European inputs in Mexico and export back tariff-free.
  • Immigration facilitation: Relocate executives and engineers without traditional bureaucracy.
  • Public procurement: EU companies now compete at the state level in Mexico.

Our Expertise

8 Pillars of Transatlantic Consulting

We design "tailor-made" solutions grouping the 10 major opportunities of the treaty for corporates, SMEs, and government entities.

1. Rules of Origin & Accumulation

We maximize your tax benefits with origin audits to apply value accumulation and prevent customs rejections.

2. Tenders & Public Works

We advise European firms to win tenders in Mexico at federal (IMSS, CFE) and state levels without discrimination.

3. AEO Certification & Customs

We guide your company to obtain Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification, guaranteeing a VIP pass and fast crossings.

4. E-commerce & Digital Services

We design legal models for digital trade and remote service sales exempt from customs taxes.

5. Corporate Mobility & Visas

We manage strategic visas for the agile relocation of executives, specialists, and European engineers to Mexico.

6. Technical & Sanitary Standards (TBT)

We standardize your processes to comply with phytosanitary measures and avoid border blocks under ISO/Codex standards.

7. Intellectual Property Shield

We register and defend your patents and protected Geographical Indications against local piracy.

8. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

We protect your investments by blocking illegal performance requirements and structuring ESG and sustainability audits.

Real Operation

How exactly do we work?

We don't do theoretical consulting. We implement legal and commercial engineering through a structured process to solve critical import, export, and public procurement problems.

01

Viability Audit

We thoroughly analyze your current supply chain or the public tender documents you wish to bid on. We determine with mathematical precision if your products qualify for ITA exemptions or if your company meets local government requirements.

02

Legal Architecture

We design the corporate structure and necessary contracts. We process advance rulings with customs to freeze tariffs at zero, structure legal consortiums for massive tenders (like health or infrastructure), and manage fast executive visas.

03

Deployment & Shielding

We accompany your team during the first customs crossing or the submission of the government proposal. We implement a continuous compliance monitoring system (labor and origin) to ensure your tariff benefits remain shielded long-term.

Business Scenarios

When does your company need us?

Legal engineering is indispensable if your corporation finds itself in any of the following transatlantic operational situations.

Evaluate your specific scenario
You import inputs from the EU

The problem: You pay high tariffs or suffer delays at Mexican customs due to technical procedures.
Our solution: We restructure the legal origin of the input under the ITA to lower the tariff to zero and process AEO certification to expedite crossing.

You want to sell to the Government

The problem: You are a European company wanting to bid on equipment contracts with IMSS or CFE, but local law blocks foreigners.
Our solution: We activate the national treatment clauses of the ITA, eliminating the legal block so you can compete on equal terms.

You export agro or manufacturing

The problem: You want to get honey, juices, or auto parts into Europe but fear customs there will reject the product due to TBT/SPS regulations.
Our solution: We homologate your labels and processes under exact Brussels standards before shipping to guarantee direct entry.

You need to relocate personnel

The problem: You need to urgently send European engineers to install machinery in Monterrey or CDMX plants.
Our solution: We design the corporate mobility model exempt from traditional immigration hurdles for a legal transfer in days, not months.

Opportunity Mapping

Strategic Sectors

We have translated the extensive text of the treaty into direct actions for the most benefited industries on both continents.

Agroindustry & Honey

New duty-free tariff quotas (TRQs) for Honey, Orange Juice, and Asparagus to the EU.

Automotive & Batteries

Flexibility in rules of origin (up to 55% external content) to export vehicles to the EU.

Protected Goods (G.I.)

Exclusive commercialization of Specialty Coffee, Vanilla, and Cotija Cheese shielded against piracy.

Digital Services & IT

Cross-border software development and cybersecurity leveraging open internet and e-signatures.

Professional Services

Architects, consultants, and accountants exporting corporate services to EU branches without permanent visas.

Processed Foods

Duty-free access for the confectionery industry, ethanol, and corn starch derivatives.

Critical Note on Triangulation

The ITA is strictly bilateral. If a European company seeks to export to the United States passing through Mexico, it will need to substantially transform its product to comply with the USMCA Rules of Origin. We provide consulting for this structuring.
