Mexico
Mexico has become a major manufacturing location, and much of the inbound equipment is tied to new plant construction or line expansion. That means orders are often multi-unit with a fixed commissioning date, and NOM certification requirements apply to some categories.
For Mexico, confirm whether NOM certification applies to your category, then plan delivery against the commissioning date rather than the order date. Multi-unit orders tied to plant construction are common, so the loading plan should be built for the whole order so units arrive in installation sequence.
