How do I find the correct NCM classification for my product?

Where can I find reliable international suppliers?

Platforms like Alibaba, Global Sources, and Trade Map are excellent starting points. Always verify supplier credentials, request references, and conduct due diligence before committing to partnerships.

How do I calculate the total cost of an import operation?

What's the difference between Incoterms?

Incoterms define responsibility for costs and risks during shipment. FOB means seller pays until port; CIF includes freight and insurance; DDP means buyer receives fully delivered. Choose based on your negotiating power and risk tolerance.

How do I track my shipment in SISCOMEX?
