USMCA Americas corporate event: the Mexico-United States-Canada trilateral convention

USMCA rules of origin and IMMEX deduction

The USMCA (T-MEC / CUSMA) sets specific rules of origin for products crossing the borders between Mexico, the United States and Canada. For gift crossing international borders, the corporate must demonstrate that the product complies with the treaty's rules of origin to enjoy the preferential tariff treatment. We coordinate with the corporate's customs broker to document the gift with USMCA certificates of origin when applicable, trilingual export invoices, packing lists and supply chain documentation when the gift includes components from the three countries.

The deduction under the IMMEX programme (Manufacturing, Maquiladora and Export Services Industry) applies to corporates with manufacturing operations in Mexico that export mainly to the United States. For gift delivered to employees of IMMEX plants, we run separate invoicing with 16% VAT breakdown and deduction support under the IMMEX programme when the gift ties to plant-floor talent retention or to employee wellbeing programmes for operational staff. For corporates with northern border operations (Tijuana, Juárez, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo), the gift delivery is coordinated with extended hours at the plant to cover the three shifts. For corporates headquartered in the United States or Canada, we also invoice in USD or CAD with Banco de México daily conversion and USMCA programme support.
