Bajío Autoparts Summit at the Centro de Convenciones de Aguascalientes: the Bajío automotive and aerospace B2B floor where Tier-1s close contracts with Nissan, Toyota and BMW before the colonial-terrace cocktail

Universidad 101, Bosques del Prado, Aguascalientes hosts the October edition of the Bajío Autoparts Summit organised by the Clúster de Autopartes del Estado de Aguascalientes (CLAA) and the Asociación Mexicana de la Industria Automotriz (AMIA). OEM plants with Bajío operations (Nissan at its Aguascalientes A1 and A2 plants, Toyota at its Celaya plant, BMW at its San Luis Potosí plant, Mazda at its Salamanca plant, Honda at its Celaya plant, Stellantis with its Saltillo and Ramos Arizpe plants, Kia at its Pesquería plant) meet the Bajío Tier-1 cluster (Nemak, Kuo, Grupo Industrial Saltillo, Frisa, Tenedora-Nemak, Maxion Wheels, Bocar, Metalsa, Brose, Valeo, Magna, Lear, Aptiv, Continental, Bosch, Denso, Z, Aisin, Marelli, PPG, Axalta, Henkel, 3M, Trelleborg, Federal-Mogul, Tenneco, Dana Incorporated, Edscha, Gestamp, Ficosa, Grupo Antolin, Plastic Omnium, Faurecia, Adient) and the aerospace suppliers of the AGS-Aero cluster (Bombardier Recreational Products, Safran, Aernnova, ITP Aero, Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Airbus Helicopters, Bell Helicopter, Honeywell).

Logistics, access and custody of the Salón principal

The Salón principal accepts load-in from Av. Universidad between 05:30 and 09:00 on set-up day, with a log signed by the Centro de Convenciones' operations team and the Tier-1 or aerospace manufacturer's logistics lead. Material is moved into the booth's back-of-house in sealed boxes carrying the lot ID and held under key until registration opens. For manufacturers bringing physical components (engine block, transmission, avionics electronic module) for demo we run reinforced custody with a log signed by the quality engineer and the manufacturer's logistics lead.

For Tier-1s and aerospace manufacturers with Bajío plants we run split shipments to the plants with Carta Porte 3.0 plus USMCA compliance under the IMMEX regime. For Tier-1s with US operations (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina) we run the local automotive-component transport regulations. For aerospace manufacturers with European operations (France, UK, Germany) we run the European aerospace regulations and EASA serialisation when the component enters the EU market.

For Tier-1s and aerospace manufacturers invoicing in MXP we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA break-down (or 0% under IMMEX), and the deduction support as Capacitación Técnica, Promoción Industrial or Relaciones Institucionales. For multinational manufacturers we issue the MXP invoice plus a USD complementary invoice at the Banxico FIX rate. For suppliers with MXP/USD dual invoicing we run the pagos complement when the transaction settles in instalments. For deliveries to the Bajío free-zones we issue the differentiated-rate invoice.

USMCA, IMMEX and Salón principal restrictions

The Salón principal operates under the rules of CLAA and the USMCA Secretariat for the exhibition of automotive and aerospace components: no components entering outside the booth without the quality lead on site, no prototype display without the IP-insurance cover, no merch displaying confidential vehicle-program or avionics content, no distribution outside the booth without the compliance responsible, no military-equipment exhibition without SEDENA authorisation.

For manufacturers crossing the northern border we run USMCA compliance with a certificate of origin when the component (engine block, transmission, harness, avionics electronic module) comes from US or Canadian suppliers, plus the CFDI 4.0 foreign-trade complement under the IMMEX regime. For aerospace manufacturers with European operations we run the EASA mark and the European aerospace regulations. For manufacturers with Asian operations we run the JIS, KS and GB compliance for automotive and electronic components.

For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA break-down (or 0% under IMMEX), automotive and aerospace-traceability serialisation when applicable, and the deduction support as Capacitación Técnica, Promoción Industrial or Relaciones Institucionales. For suppliers with cross-border operations we run the pagos complement when the transaction settles in instalments. For deliveries to the free-zone we run the temporary-import pedimento when the component returns to origin. Back-of-house delivery is documented on a vale signed by the manufacturer's operations lead and the Tier-1's or aerospace manufacturer's quality responsible.
