NOM compliance and labeling for importing into Mexico.
NOMs (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas) are Mexico’s official product standards. We identify the NOMs and regulations that apply to your product based on its tariff code and manage NOM certification and labeling with labs, inspection bodies and accredited verification units (UVAs).

Response time
24–48 business hours
Initial assessment in 24–48 business hours. Full compliance depends on the applicable regulation.
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.
Which NOM applies depends on your tariff code.
Not every product carries the same obligations. We start from your tariff code to identify the NOMs and regulations that apply to your product.
That way you know from day one what your goods need, instead of finding out when they’re already at Mexican customs.
Labeling and verification, handled for you.
When your product needs labeling, testing or verification, we manage the process with labs, inspection bodies and the accredited verification unit (UVA) that applies.
You don’t coordinate each one: your 36T account executive connects compliance with your supplier, freight and customs.
