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 Tier-1s bringing physical components (engine blocks, transmissions, electronic modules) for demo we run reinforced custody with a log signed by the quality engineer and the Tier-1's logistics lead.

For Tier-1s with plants in Nuevo León, Coahuila and Tamaulipas we run split shipments to the plants with Carta Porte 3.0 plus USMCA compliance under the IMMEX regime.
