Do I need a company to import into
Mexico, and where is the official list of customs agents?
To import regularly into Mexico you need a company (or a person) with an RFC tax ID and e. firma, listed in the SAT importers' register (Padrón de Importadores), with a customs agent or legal representative handling the operations. Foreigners can also form a Mexican company. The official ANAM list of customs agent companies shows names only.
