Chris, You need one certificate for each distributor selling your product in MEXICO Peter: Not correct. You can set up a legal licenseholder for approx. $300 to hold your cert in Mexico. This way, you can have multiple distributors The NOM certificate cost doing in Mexico is about US $700 which is less compared to what you will pay in US. If you use a Consultant in Mexico he may add another US$300. Which is still not a major expense for any US company. Peter: Yes, inexpensive if product is being tested in Mexico and long delays in testing and certification. However, with TUV Rheinland of North America for example, there is an MOU with Canieti, a Mexican accredited laboratory, and therefore tests (typically the same tests covered by your end product standard) are accepted without having the need to send the samples to Mexico. Typically, the cost is $3200 and the lead time is approx. 10 working days assuming the importer or legal licenseholder is already regsitered by NYCE (electronic equipment) or ANCE (electrical equipment) I have heard from my Compliance friends that many small vendors ship products to Mexico and Argentina without any certificates. If problems occur at the customs, it is resolved with the customs officials without any major expense. Peter: Not worth taking any risks. I have also heard of many fines imposed on manufacturers and importers not meeting the country requirements

I however would like to respect and follow the in-country rules/laws of all countries for import. Christopher [email protected] wrote: Hi Christine: NOM certification and marking of projectors is a legal requirement for Mexico. Without this, the Mexican customs authorities can confiscate the equipment, and may not return the equipment. I would recomend that you contact an agent such as TUV, NEMKO, or some other regulatory agent/body that has experience with NOM submittals, as this is not an easy process. The NOM product certifications are valid for one year, and have to be renewed every year that the product is still sold into the Mexico market.

We have a client in Mexico that wants to buy our OEM product, which does not have the NOM Mark. The client states that we can ship our products directly to a buyer ( Them) in Mexico without having the NOM Mark. They state that we would need the NOM Mark if the product was being bought >from a local office or distributor in Mexico and then being sold to them. This product happens to be a Home Projector.....if that makes a difference. ( I hope not) Any one have any clarification on this...... Thank you!
