Mexico first: Pacific ports for dealers, clear U.S. boundaries

JCHCAR supplies Mexican importers and dealers via Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas. For Mexico-resident customers using Mexican plates temporarily in the U.S., we state the real limits — with no promise of permanent U.S. import.

JCHCAR B2B dealer support and export documentation for Latin America

JCHCAR leg → Mexico (Pacific)

Preferred ports: Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas. RORO or container per PI; EV/PHEV on Class 9 DG. Veracruz/Altamira (Gulf) are secondary. Mexican homologation, duties, and plates are the Mexican importer’s responsibility.

Who we sell to

Vehicle importers, used-car dealers, and workshop/service networks in Mexico. We do not serve retail end consumers or “personal U.S. import” shoppers.

Mexican plates in the U.S. — temporary use (reference)

Per CBP, a nonresident may bring a foreign vehicle for personal use for up to about one year; it must be exported by the deadline, cannot be sold in the U.S., and does not become a U.S. state registration. Eligibility turns on genuine Mexico residence — a Mexican passport alone is not enough. U.S. residents cannot turn this into permanent U.S. ownership.

Do you “have to return to Mexico every year”?

The U.S. federal limit is the temporary-stay / export deadline. Separately, Mexico’s annual refrendo and state verificación (where required) often need the vehicle kept current — frequently with an in-Mexico inspection. That is the usual source of “drive it back to Mexico” anecdotes, not a single federal U.S. form. Confirm with your broker, CBP, and the Mexican state vehicle authority.

U.S. Pacific ports (reference)

For programs that actually meet FMVSS/EPA and formal U.S. entry, Pacific reference ports are Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle — not a shortcut for non-homologated China-spec cars. Atlantic/Gulf is out of scope for this guide.

What JCHCAR does not promise

We do not guarantee U.S. registration, EPA/NHTSA exemptions, or residency status. This page orients Mexican dealers and their counsel — it is not legal advice.
