The Secretariat de la Economia of Mexico has confirmed that starting June 3, 2019, all current NOM certificates will need to show the HS Code or they will be invalid at customs.

Mandatory Changes

• All previously issued certificates will now need to be updated to include the product's HS Code. This is now required in order to carry out the normal importation process.
• Any importer using an exception letter in order to waive obtaining a NOM is not required to obtain a mandatory NOM certificate.
• Goods that are not sold to the general public, or imported for manufacturing will now require NOM.

Dictums / product declarations on specialized products and exemptions will continue to be issued, however these products will be checked at customs and may be rejected if it is determined that it is not a highly pecialized product.

This update affects all devices submitted for radio and safety Type Approval in Mexico for NOM standards and is effective as of June 3, 2019.
