Mexico Market Access

Electrical products listed in more than 2000 categories must comply with NOM standards and also meet mandatory energy efficiency requirements (LASE) before they can be imported and placed on the Mexican market. A mandatory NOM certificate of compliance is determined by the tariff code applied to the product. According to Mexican law, the holder of a NOM certificate is responsible for warranty, maintenance, and product liability. There is no transferability of NOM certificates.
