Mexico to European Union
Cables and motors into the EU
Prepare selected imports from Mexico: product scope, EU importer, customs, product rules and missing documents.
Choose the product
- Insulated industrial copper cable
New insulated industrial copper power cable, without radio, batteries or active electronics. No fibre-optic, medical, marine or high-voltage special cable.
- Standalone three-phase industrial motor
New standalone three-phase induction motor for ordinary industrial use. No explosive-atmosphere, vehicle, marine or medical motor.
Selected new goods, not every product in the category. Choose the closest example, then confirm its scope.
