Component logistics tuned to the production schedule
Component storage, kitting to the build and inbound materials management under one roof — with duties deferred under IMMEX until goods move.
What does electronics manufacturing logistics cover?
It is the inbound side of production: receiving components and raw materials, storing them under inventory control, and kitting them to the build schedule. Lateral Fulfillment records every unit under Anexo 24 inventory control and stores components alongside finished goods, so inbound supply and outbound distribution run through one facility.
Why hold component inventory in the corridor?
Components arriving from Asia clear once and then sit six miles from the U.S. border, held under IMMEX with Mexican duties deferred until goods are sold or exported. That keeps working capital in the business instead of at customs, while finished goods reach U.S. destinations in days.
What electronics manufacturers need
Every unit recorded at receipt under Anexo 24 control, with bin-level locations and live counts.
Component sets assembled and sequenced to the production schedule rather than picked ad hoc.
Handling procedures written per program under documented SOPs, with secure storage for high-value parts.
Raw materials and finished goods in one facility and one system, not split across vendors.
Mexican duties deferred while components remain under IMMEX; U.S. duties apply on U.S. entry.
Serials and lot numbers recorded where the program requires traceability.
Frequently asked questions
What does electronics manufacturing logistics include?
Receiving and storing components and raw materials, recording them under Anexo 24 inventory control, kitting them to the production schedule, and distributing finished goods — all from one 440,000 sq ft Class-A facility.
How are components tracked?
Every unit is recorded at receipt with a bin-level location in the warehouse management system, and inventory is audited at 99.9% accuracy. Serials and lot numbers are captured where the program requires it.
Can Lateral Fulfillment kit components to a build schedule?
Yes. Component sets are assembled and sequenced against the production schedule under documented SOPs, so the line receives kits rather than loose parts.
How does IMMEX apply to imported components?
Components are held with Mexican duties and VAT deferred until goods are sold or exported. U.S. import duties still apply when goods enter the United States; deferral applies to the Mexican side only.
What is Anexo 24?
Anexo 24 is the automated inventory-control system required to hold IMMEX status. It records each unit’s entry, movement and exit, which is what makes duty deferral auditable. Lateral Fulfillment maintains it.
Can inbound materials and finished goods share one facility?
Yes. Both run through the same building under one warehouse management system, which removes the handoffs and reconciliation that come from splitting them across vendors.
How much can a manufacturer save?
Up to 30% versus a comparable U.S. operation, driven by Tijuana labour and warehousing rates. Every engagement starts with a free cost analysis built on real volumes.
How long does a program take to go live?
Most programs are live within six weeks of contract signature. Integration work runs in parallel with inventory transfer, and a named contact is assigned at kickoff.
