How customs clearance works with us in Mexico

In Mexico, customs clearance is handled by a dedicated partner team that works under the Ziem Logistics brand, to our procedures and with the shipment data we prepare. You deal only with Ziem Logistics, from booking to release. We issue our own air waybills on Mexico lanes, without a third-party consolidator.

Shipping to Mexico: what to know

Imports into Mexico are declared on a pedimento, and importers must be listed in the importers' register (Padrón de Importadores). Manufacturers often operate under the IMMEX program for temporary imports. Documentation is checked strictly, so we prepare it carefully before departure.

Mexico City's air cargo operations have largely moved to Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU). We route shipments accordingly.
