Q2 2026 Package: the quarter where the year is corrected
The second quarter of the Mexican fiscal year (April-June) is the quarter of correction: Marketing teams evaluate the Q1 launches performance and reactivate commercial provision, HR departments execute the semi-annual evaluation rounds with merchandise delivery to employees who closed target, Operations directorates at corporates with plants in Baja California restock the staff provision for the second semester, and CEO offices convene the semi-annual board meeting in June with curated provision for councillors and the diplomatic corps attending. The Q2 2026 package covers the four activations with logistics to Tijuana, Mexicali and Ensenada, IMMEX compliance for deliveries to San Diego and Los Angeles, and Carta Porte 3.0 for border crossing.

Compliance with the Federal Law on the Foreign Service when the guest is part of the diplomatic corps, PLD compliance when the guest is from the financial area.Baja California as a USMCA platform
Baja California operates as Mexico's logistics platform toward the US market by land. Tijuana records the world's busiest border crossing with San Diego, and Mexicali operates as the gateway to the Calexico and Imperial Valley industrial corridor. Baja California IMMEX plants concentrate in Tijuana (electronics, medical devices, services), Mexicali (aerospace, clean energies, electronics), Ensenada (fishing, wine, tourism) and Tecate (brewing, agro-industrial). The Q2 2026 package handles logistics to this corridor with daily deliveries in Tijuana, weekly deliveries in Mexicali, and scheduled deliveries in Ensenada.
USMCA compliance for Baja California IMMEX deliveries operates under three modalities: national delivery when the piece stays at the Mexican plant, definitive export when the piece crosses to California for delivery to the employee in San Diego, and temporary export when the piece is used at a trade show in Las Vegas or San Francisco and returns to Mexico. Corp-Merch.MX handles compliance with a certified customs broker in Tijuana and Mexicali, with SAT invoicing using the foreign trade complement and Carta Porte 3.0 for transit from the plant to the border crossing. The applicable VAT rate is 16% for national deliveries, 0% for exports with pedimento, exempt for deliveries in the border strip under the Decree of fiscal incentives.
USMCA, rules of origin and traceability
USMCA (United States, Mexico and Canada Agreement) establishes rules of origin for products that cross the border with preferential tariffs. For merchandising pieces produced in Mexico with regional inputs, the rules of origin apply per material: textile pieces (t-shirts, shirts) require regional yarn to access zero tariff; metallic pieces (thermos, pens, USB) require regional casting and assembly; leather pieces (notebooks, briefcases) require regional tanning. Corp-Merch.MX works with suppliers that comply with the rules of origin and issues the certificate of origin when the corporate requires it.
The traceability of Baja California IMMEX pieces operates under the IMMEX programme beneficiary registry and the plant's Inventory Control System. Each piece delivered to the employee at the Tijuana or San Diego plant is recorded in the system with serial number, delivery date and recipient signature. Traceability is especially important for higher-value pieces (headphones, smartwatches, luxury pens) that require IMMEX inventory control to avoid double accounting between the Mexican plant and the US plant. Corp-Merch.MX coordinates with the corporate's IMMEX Operations area to maintain piece-by-piece traceability and deliver the monthly SAT report when applicable.
Run sizes, MOQ and Q2 production window
The Q2 2026 package operates with consolidated runs per activation and a 60 day production window before the first delivery. For commercial reactivation with runs from 100 units, the window closes 30 days before the reactivation launch (typically 15 March for 15 April reactivations). For semi-annual recognition with runs from 50 units, the window closes 30 days before the semi-annual closing (typically 1 June for 30 June ceremonies). For plant restocking with runs from 100 units, the window closes 45 days before second semester start (typically 15 May for 1 July deliveries).
