Corp H3 2026 Final Pack — 12-month horizon with annual discount

The Corp H3 2026 Final Pack is the 12-month planning modality for the Mexican corporate group that prefers to buy the full year instead of running four quarterly tenders or two semester tenders. It is calibrated for groups with a budget approved in December 2025, an active IMMEX program, USMCA presence, and the need to align the merch cycle with the fiscal year. The annual discount runs 14 to 22 percent on the published quarterly price depending on consolidated volume and applies uniformly across the twelve fronts of the pack.

Twelve fronts inside the Corp H3 2026 Final Pack

The H3 2026 Final Pack integrates the twelve annual corporate activations into a single contract. The operational advantage for the procurement team is the elimination of three tenders (H1, H2, and any quarterly close-out). The fiscal advantage is consolidating CFDI reconciliation into a single annual file, which cuts accounting team time by 60 to 70 percent. The logistics advantage is planning production with twelve months of horizon, which lets Corp-Merch.MX secure plant capacity, raw material, and parcel slots before the January-March inflation cycle.

The annual discount and the economic logic of the 12-month horizon

The Corp H3 2026 Final Pack annual discount exists because when Corp-Merch.MX receives a closed annual order instead of four quarterly orders, it can plan production with twelve months of horizon rather than three. That allows: reserving plant capacity with the subcontracted manufacturers of the Bajío, the northern border, and the Southeast before each quarter’s raw-material inflation cycle; negotiating contracts on organic cotton, leather tanned in León, hand-blown glass in Tonalá, and stainless steel before seasonal peaks; and blocking logistics with parcel operators before Semana Santa, Hot Sale, Buen Fin, and year-end.

The discount is calculated on the annual subtotal before IVA and reflected in a single quote line under the concept "Annual commitment discount Corp H3 2026 Final Pack". The invoice carries the discount on the corresponding CFDI 4.0 line with the SAT-authorised code. For clients with a two-year budget (2026-2027), the annual H3 discount is combined with the biannual discount and applies cumulatively, reaching a total discount of 18 to 28 percent on the published quarterly price.

The H3 master agreement runs from 1 January to 31 December 2026 with automatic renewal for 2027 if the client requests it before 31 October 2026. The renewal applies the same percentage discount on the projected volume, adjusted for inflation and exchange rate. For clients on a non-standard fiscal calendar (April-March for US parent subsidiaries, July-June for tourism groups), H3 aligns with the client’s fiscal year and runs on the client’s fiscal calendar, not the civil calendar.

Annual timeline and CFDI 4.0 traceability

The annual timeline starts in the first half of November 2025 with the signature of the annual master agreement. The first PO confirmation happens the first week of January 2026. Deliveries follow the client’s operating calendar: Q1 (January-March), Q2 (April-June, with February, March, and May peaks), Q3 (July-September, with August peak for IMMEX), Q4 (October-December, with November and December peaks). Each front has its own brief confirmation window, brief close, and delivery window.

H3 invoicing runs as four consolidated CFDIs per quarter (the most efficient for AP), or as twelve monthly CFDIs if the client policy requires it, with a 2 percent administrative surcharge on the subtotal in the monthly variant. Each CFDI carries the annual discount on a separate line, the recipient tax regime (605 RESICO, 601 general, 626 RESICO where applicable), the unit key for the spend chapter, and the CFDI use that accounting instructs. For IMMEX deliveries, the foreign trade complement is included with 0% IVA rate and deductibility in the Mexican corporate tax regime.

The annual fiscal compliance report is delivered at year close (31 December) with the detail of each CFDI issued, each IMMEX pedimento, each Carta Porte 3.0, and each piece delivered with photographic evidence and recipient signature. This report is the primary input for the corporate annual return, the annual informative returns (RAOCE, Related-Party Operations Report, Donatarias Report where applicable), and UIF and CNBV compliance for financial-sector recipients above the UMA threshold.

FAQ — Corp H3 2026 Final Pack

When does the brief close for H3 2026?

The operational brief close is 15 November 2025. That allows production to start the first business day of January 2026 with the first delivery out before 22 January. Briefs arriving after 15 November are processed for deliveries from February onwards while the annual discount still applies as long as the master agreement is signed before 30 November 2025.

Does the annual discount combine with the semester discount?

The annual Corp H3 2026 Final Pack discount does NOT combine with the Corp H1 or Corp H2 semester discounts. The client picks one of the three modalities (quarterly, semester, or annual) and gets the corresponding discount. For clients with a two-year budget, the annual discount combines with the biannual discount in a single consolidated quote.

Can the volume change at mid-year?

Yes. The H3 master agreement allows volume adjustment at the close of each quarter with a +/- 20 percent margin on the original projection. This lets the client react to headcount changes (growth, restructuring, IMMEX expansion) without renegotiating the contract. The annual discount is maintained on the volume actually executed.

How do you handle deliveries in Mexico, the United States, and Canada?

For corporate groups with USMCA presence, we run three delivery calendars, three currencies (MXN, USD, CAD), and three tax compliances (SAT with CFDI 4.0, IRS with 1099 when the piece is delivered to an independent contractor, CRA with T4A when delivered to a Canadian employee). Continental consolidation cuts the unit cost 8 to 14 percent compared with three separate purchases and simplifies tax compliance for the procurement team over the 24 months.

Is the invoice issued with the foreign trade complement?

Yes, when the delivery crosses the northern border under USMCA or IMMEX. The invoice includes the complement with the pedimento number, the tariff fraction, and the destination of the piece. For deliveries exclusively in Mexico, the invoice is issued without the complement. For deliveries to Canada or Europe, the INCOTERM DDP applies at the destination city with peso invoicing at the exchange rate of the delivery day.

Can the pack be renewed for 2027 with the same discount?

Yes. The H3 master agreement includes an automatic-renewal clause for 2027 with the same percentage discount on the projected volume, adjusted for inflation (Banxico orange circle) and exchange rate (FIX of the day before the quote). For clients with a two-year budget 2026-2027, a single contract covers the two years with accumulated discount.
