Salon C-15: where the IMMEX board reviews USMCA compliance and the COO kit arrives before the pedimento

Salon C-15 sits on the 11th floor of the Norte corridor where the IMMEX companies (Industria Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de Servicios de Exportación) run their board meetings, USMCA compliance reviews and cross-border operations planning: nine horseshoe-arranged seats with a continuous table, a lectern for the plant COO or the IMMEX corporate director general, a five-metre LED screen with simultaneous projection of the export plan and the Mexico-US operations cap table, an annexed room with a phone line for calls with the customs broker, the USMCA broker and the IMMEX accountant where applicable, a sealed chamber for the pedimento and USMCA compliance annexes and a closed kitchen with bilingual service. This is where the annual export plans of the IMMEX plants of Bajio, Sonora, Chihuahua and Tamaulipas get approved, where the Mexico-US operations cap table gets reviewed, where the USMCA regional content commitments get confirmed, where the border-crossing logistics get coordinated and where the SAT visits to the plants get handled. What separates Salon C-15 is the pedimento ritual: the COO kit enters before the pedimento, exits signed for by each board member at close and lets the customs broker archive the USMCA compliance without the merch pulling attention from the annexes.

Salon C-15 logistics, access and custody

Salon C-15 operates with an independent 11th-floor freight dock: the side dock takes a 3.5-tonne van on a restricted shift. Access requires pre-registration, a complex-issued badge and a signed floor log; the pedimento annexes are moved straight from the dock to the sealed chamber without going through the lobby. The Salon C-15 operations team delivers the board material with visible ID and is responsible for safeguarding the material not delivered to the floor chamber. The annexed room with a phone line is used for calls with the customs broker, with the USMCA broker or with the IMMEX accountant when the meeting requires real-time consultation.

For board meetings of IMMEX companies with operations in the US (typically Texas, California, Michigan, North Carolina), we invoice in USD at the Banco de México FIX exchange rate of the day before, with USMCA compliance and support for deduction as an IMMEX Operations or Foreign Trade expense in the plant fiscal close. For meetings with the international USMCA broker, we issue complementary invoicing in USD and USMCA rules of origin compliance when the export plan crosses the border as part of the corporate operations archive. The merch custody chain is documented with signature, time and seal at each control point: dock intake, operations inspection, transfer to the sealed chamber, delivery to the corporate COO, recess restocking, post-meeting pickup, return of surplus to the corporate.

Salon C-15 confidentiality, compliance and prohibitions

Salon C-15 has operating rules the merch must respect: no mobile phone use in the room during the USMCA compliance review, no merch items with unauthorised electronic elements, no backpacks or bags in the room (board members use the sealed chamber for their gear), no POP material bearing IMMEX competitor logos, no food or beverages other than the 11th-floor kitchen service. For meetings requiring limited-edition merchandising (plant anniversary t-shirt, outgoing COO signed book, pedimento year paperweight), we coordinate with the complex operations area to make sure the piece complies with the security protocol, the USMCA compliance protocol and the IMMEX archival protocol.

For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as an IMMEX Operations, Foreign Trade or Manufacturing expense, depending on the merch use. For IMMEX companies with US operations we issue complementary invoicing in USD or EUR and support USMCA compliance when the export plan crosses the border as part of the parent's operations archive. For IMMEX companies with US dual listing we issue bilingual (es/en) invoicing and USMCA compliance when the board material crosses the border as part of the corporate operations archive. The merch ships with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign trade complement where applicable, and with the payment complement when the plant pays in instalments.
