Response time
24–48 business hours
Quotes in 24–48 business hours. Release times depend on the port of entry and the specifics of each shipment.
The times shown are for 36T’s response, assessment or quote. Execution time for each operation depends on origin, destination, type of goods, carrier availability, authorities and third parties involved.
A network of brokers by industry, not a single license.
In Mexico, every import is cleared by a licensed customs broker (agente aduanal). Instead of relying on a single license, we work with a network of vetted partner brokers specialized by industry, with coverage at ports of entry across Mexico.
For each shipment we assign the broker who knows your type of goods best. You don’t have to manage them: your 36T account executive follows the clearance and keeps you updated until release.
Customs as part of the whole operation.
Every import into Mexico is declared on a pedimento, the customs entry filed by the broker. If customs clearance is all you need, we coordinate it. If you also need sourcing, freight or NOM compliance, clearance becomes part of one operation with one accountable partner.
