Mexico buyers usually need west-coast port choice, VAT/duty exposure, and CFE/NOM document readiness before approving container orders. We prepare the buying file an EPC, distributor, or project owner needs before internal approval: landed-cost estimate, technical documents, compliance path, lead time, and container loading.

Mexico Solar Import FAQ

What certifications do solar panels need for Mexico?

Commercial/utility projects: IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 (our standard cert package). Residential/rooftop projects often require NOM-ENE-003-CONAGUA (local standard). For CFE interconnection under Generación Distribuida program, IEC + flash test certificates typically suffice. JUSTSOLAR provides full certificate bundle with every shipment.

Are there import duties or anti-dumping tariffs from China to Mexico?

Mexico currently has no anti-dumping duties on Chinese solar modules (unlike the USA which has Section 201/301). Standard import duty on solar modules is ~0-5% under Mexico's MFN tariff. VAT (IVA) is 16% on imports. Your customs broker handles nationalization.

How long does shipping take from Shanghai to Mexico?

Manzanillo (west coast): 28-32 days transit. Lázaro Cárdenas: 30-34 days. Veracruz/Altamira (east coast via Panama Canal): 45-50 days. Add 5-7 days factory production if no stock. Total lead time from order to Mexico port: 5-8 weeks typical.

What module wattage is most common in Mexico?

Commercial rooftop: TOPCon 600W (most popular, best $/W). Utility/ground-mount: 640W or 730W for higher power density and lower BOS/land costs. Industrial facilities: 600W-640W balance. We recommend: quote all three options — contractors price 640W best but 600W has lower shipping $/W.

Do you ship to Mexico under CIF or FOB?

Both. FOB Shanghai: you arrange freight through your forwarder. CIF Manzanillo/Lázaro/Veracruz: we contract ocean freight + marine insurance; you receive B/L at destination. Most first-time Mexican buyers prefer CIF for predictable total cost. CFR (no insurance) also available.

What payment terms do you offer Mexican buyers?

Payment terms are confirmed in the formal PI. For new Mexican buyers and most first orders, JUSTSOLAR uses 100% T/T before shipment. Any exception requires written approval from Frank and will be stated in the PI. USD-denominated always.

Who are your Mexican customers?

We supply EPCs (tens of MW commercial/industrial projects), distributors (statewide wholesale), and large end-user integrators in CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and border states. Currently active in 15+ Mexican states. Spanish-speaking support via Frank on WhatsApp.
