Carnets to Mexico Ramping Up

Carnets to Mexico are ramping up for a May 16th implementation. CIB recommends that exporters and shippers be proactive about planning for using a carnet into Mexico and contact us well in advance of the planned export/travel. Initially, Mexico will have a pre-clearance requirement that carnet users register the incoming carnet with Mexican customs 3-4 days prior to entering the country. CIB will direct carnet users through the registration process to ensure a smooth procedure once the goods are in Mexico. For companies planning to use carnets into Mexico on a regular basis, scheduling a teleconference with a Carnet Specialist in the near future is also suggested.
