Americas Q2 2026 corp event: NRA Show Chicago, trilateral trade compliance, and the regional Hot Sale

Q2 on the Americas corporate calendar concentrates three simultaneous operations across the region. NRA Show at McCormick Place in Chicago between May 16 and 19 brings together the foodservice, hospitality, and consumer goods corporate operating in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. The spring trilateral trade compliance work reopens the USMCA rules-of-origin review with U.S. and Canadian suppliers ahead of H2. The AMVO Hot Sale between late May and early June activates retail and ecommerce operations in Mexico, with equivalent operations (Prime Day, Memorial Day) in the U.S. We work with multinational corporates operating in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, members of the NRA and CANIRAC. Invoicing issues under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% IVA and deductibility supported as Marketing, Training, or Foreign Trade expense.
