Lateral Fulfillment operates a Class-A facility under IMMEX, so brands hold inventory in Mexico with Mexican duties deferred.<\/p><h2 class=\"hd\" style=\"margin-top:48px\">How does duty deferral work?<\/h2><p style=\"margin-top:18px\">Under IMMEX, Mexican duties and VAT are deferred rather than paid when goods arrive &#x2014; duty is settled only as goods are sold or exported. Lateral Fulfillment stores inventory under the program, which keeps working capital in the business instead of tied up at the border.<\/p><h2 class=\"hd\" style=\"margin-top:48px\">Does IMMEX get rid of duties?<\/h2><p style=\"margin-top:18px\">No. IMMEX defers Mexican duties; it does not eliminate them, and it does not touch U.S. duties. U.S. import duties still apply when goods enter the United States. Deferral applies to the Mexican side only. The benefit is timing and cash flow, not a waiver of what is owed on U.S. entry.<\/p><\/div><\/section><section class=\"sec sec--dark\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"rv\"><span class=\"eyebrow\">What it covers<\/span><h2 class=\"hd\">The mechanics in parts<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"flow rv\"><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">01<\/div><h3>Deferral<\/h3><p>Mexican duties and VAT suspended while goods remain under the program.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">02<\/div><h3>Working capital<\/h3><p>Cash not tied up in duty paid before a sale.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">03<\/div><h3>One registration<\/h3><p>Brands fulfill under Lateral's IMMEX &#x2014; no own program needed.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">04<\/div><h3>Anexo 24<\/h3><p>Inventory control system required to hold IMMEX status.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">05<\/div><h3>U.S. entry<\/h3><p>U.S. import duties apply on crossing &#x2014; unchanged by IMMEX.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"flow-step\"><div class=\"n\">06<\/div><h3>Compliance<\/h3><p>Documented inventory control and audited record-keeping.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"sec sec--dark\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"rv\"><span class=\"eyebrow\">Related<\/span><h2 class=\"hd\">Related<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"rows\"><a class=\"row rv\" href=\"\/usmca-cross-border\/\"><div><b>USMCA Cross-Border<\/b><span>What changed in 2026 for cross-border brands<\/span><\/div><em>&#x2192;<\/em><\/a><a class=\"row rv\" href=\"\/fulfillment-center-mexico\/\"><div><b>Fulfillment Center Mexico<\/b><span>The Class-A facility under IMMEX<\/span><\/div><em>&#x2192;<\/em><\/a><a class=\"row rv\" href=\"\/contract-logistics\/\"><div><b>Contract Logistics<\/b><span>Dedicated programs for manufacturers<\/span><\/div><em>&#x2192;<\/em><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"sec\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"rv\"><span class=\"eyebrow\">FAQ<\/span><h2 class=\"hd\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"faq rv\" style=\"margin-top:32px\"><details open><summary>What does IMMEX stand for?<\/summary><p>IMMEX is the Spanish acronym for the Manufacturing, Maquiladora and Export Services Industry program.
