Americas Q1 2026 corp event: NRF Retail's Big Show, USMCA regional review, and the Americas commercial kickoff

Q1 on the Americas corporate calendar concentrates three simultaneous operations across the region. NRF Retail's Big Show at the Javits Center in New York between January 11 and 14 brings together the retail, ecommerce, and consumer goods corporate operating in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The Americas fiscal year kickoff with the new fiscal year opening in Mexico, the United States, and Canada activates tax, customs, and compliance operations under USMCA. The annual USMCA rules-of-origin review with U.S. and Canadian suppliers reopens the compliance window. We work with multinational corporates operating in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, members of the NRF and CANACINTRA. Invoicing issues under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% IVA and deductibility supported as Marketing, Training, or Foreign Trade expense.
