Corp 122 final bundle: the Bajío automotive technician's kit
The corp 122 final bundle supports the Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 automotive technician in the Bajío cluster (Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Jalisco). Industrial jacket with reflective tape, helmet with chinstrap, polo shirt with embroidered logo, hand-tool kit for line maintenance. The CFDI 4.0 invoice goes with 16% or 0% IVA under the IMMEX regime and the USMCA rule of origin for automotive components.
The Bajío automotive cluster and its demands
The Bajío automotive cluster concentrates 67% of Mexican automotive production according to AMIA and INA 2025 data. Within a 350 km radius around Querétaro, more than 2.1 million vehicles are produced per year, with GM, Stellantis, VW, BMW, Toyota, KIA, Mazda and Audi plants. The Tier 1 supply chain is led by Bosch, Continental, Denso, Magna, ZF, Valeo and Aptiv; Tier 2 covers plastic, electrical, metal-mechanical and electronic component manufacturers; Tier 3 covers raw-material suppliers and auxiliary services.
The Tier 1 corporate installing a new plant in the Bajío to serve multiple OEMs runs IATF 16949 quality standards with specific technical-training requirements (MIG/TIG welding, harness assembly, plastic injection, CNC machining, collaborative robotics handling). The corp 122 final bundle covers the PPE and hand-tool supply the technician receives on joining the plant, complementary to the corporate uniform the HR area delivers.
The USMCA rule of origin requires 75% of the vehicle value to originate in the region for the vehicle to be exported to the US and Canada duty-free. For specific automotive components (engine, transmission, battery, electrical parts) the threshold rises to 80–85%. Component traceability is documented with the USMCA certificate of origin and with the operator ID who produced it. The corp 122 final bundle carries the engraved RFC, employee number and production line to document traceability when the audit requires it.
The Bajío runs solid infrastructure: AIFA (Felipe Ángeles International Airport), the Querétaro intercontinental airport and the Guanajuato airport connect Tier 1 plants with US, Canadian, German and Japanese suppliers. The road network includes the México-Querétaro, Querétaro-San Luis Potosí, Querétaro-León and Querétaro-Aguascalientes motorways. The corp 122 final bundle ships to any Bajío site through specialised carriers with 1–3 day transit from the central warehouse.

How the Tier 1/2/3 kit is invoiced
The corp 122 final bundle invoices under USO CFDI D02 when booked as training expense, or I08 when booked as plant-operating expense. For corporates under IMMEX, IVA is set at 0% with the Free Zone complement when the plant operates in a Bajío free zone. For plants outside the free zone, 16% IVA with operating-expense deductibility. The invoice breaks down by piece with unit value, broken-out IVA and total.
The Tier 1 corporate with multiple Bajío plants issues a single consolidated invoice across all sites (Querétaro, SLP, Ags, León, Salamanca, Irapuato, Celaya, Silao). The invoice breaks down by site, delivery date and kit count. Deductibility runs under Article 27 LISR as operating expense of an export plant, with supporting documentation: signed technician list, delivery receipts per site and current IMMEX constancia.
For corporates reporting to OEMs under IATF 16949 audits, the corp 122 final bundle meets the document-traceability requirements: each piece carries a barcode, technician identification and laser engraving. The CFDI 4.0 invoice serves as supporting documentation for the expense reported in the OEM audit. The corporate quality area files the invoice with the production-batch record.
24/7 operation, shifts and staff turnover
The Tier 1 corporate runs 8-hour rotating shifts on a 24/7 schedule (three shifts: morning, afternoon and night). Staff turnover in Bajío plants is high: the corporate reports between 8% and 12% monthly turnover in technical positions, which forces frequent kit replacement. The annual contract with safety stock and replacement within 5 business days covers the inflow of hires and departures.
Production runs 20 to 25 business days for series of 50 kits or more, with 30 to 35 days for series above 200 kits. Delivery to plant runs through specialised carriers (DHL, FedEx, Estafeta) with 1–3 day transit for Bajío deliveries. For urgent shipments (replacement for damaged or lost PPE), we run a minimum batch of 10 kits with 8–10 business days production time.
The corporate with Tier 1 plant in more than one Bajío state receives scheduled deliveries per site with independent invoicing per site or consolidated per corporate, depending on the purchasing policy. The invoice carries the umbrella contract covering the period (monthly, quarterly or annual) and the technician list assigned to each site. The contract renews automatically with 30-day prior notice.
