What it does
Submit your packaging formats and Mexican sales data. The Mexico NOM Screener checks food and beverage packaging against NOM-051 mandatory front-of-pack octagonal warnings, maps each format against active plastic bans in Mexico City and 8 states, and calculates USMCA duty savings from switching to North American suppliers.
Example use case
A US food brand selling in Mexico City submits 4 packaging formats. The screener flags their single-use plastic bag as banned, identifies that Chinese-origin corrugated cases pay 12% duty instead of 0% USMCA, and checks whether the high-sodium product requires the NOM-051 octagonal warning — it does.
