Customs Release Letter
The operational gateway: gets your testing samples into Mexico before certification starts. The units are for lab testing only — not for sale. Without this, no sample, no test, no certificate.

Six strategic interventions for NOM certification. One account manager. Legal certainty at every stage.
Free initial assessment. Coordination with accredited certification bodies. Active follow-up until the certificate is in your hands.
Three scenarios cover 90% of the cases that reach NOMAD. Pick yours and we get started.
You don't yet have a certificate, and you're unsure which NOMs apply to your product.
Customs is asking for a NOM you didn't expect, or one you don't think applies to your product.
Your certificate is close to expiring. You need to keep it valid without stopping imports.

90% of NOMAD projects involve one or both of these services.
The full pipeline from technical file to issued certificate. We run it with the accredited bodies that matter — NYCE, ANCE, Bureau Veritas — so your product moves from regulatory limbo to market-ready without you having to understand every step.
A formal evaluation that determines whether your product falls within or outside the scope of a specific NOM — issued by an accredited certification body. The tool to skip unnecessary certifications and push back on incorrect customs demands.
Many clients arrive with 5 NOMs customs demanded. A Conformity Assessment for each inapplicable NOM can reduce real compliance to just 2 — before you commit time and money to certifications you don't need.
Every import has loose ends. These services cover the rest of the regulatory cycle.
The operational gateway: gets your testing samples into Mexico before certification starts. The units are for lab testing only — not for sale. Without this, no sample, no test, no certificate.
Request letter →The spectrum permit: any wireless device (WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE) needs this alongside NOM certification to operate legally in Mexico. We run both in parallel so one regulatory step doesn't block the other.
Request homologation →Keeps your certificates alive so re-imports never stop. We track expiration dates, run the renewal process before lapse, and make sure your product stays legal in Mexico indefinitely.
Request renewal →The entry point. Many clients arrive with a list of NOMs customs demanded. We tell you which actually apply to your product — and which don't, so you start the process with certainty, not guesses.
Request advisory →What a typical project looks like when a manufacturer enters the Mexican market with NOMAD.

Certification is the complete process that produces an official NOM Conformity Certificate — the document you need to sell the product in Mexico. A Conformity Assessment is a technical evaluation that determines whether your product is subject to a specific NOM or not. The Assessment comes first: if the result shows the NOM doesn't apply, you don't need to certify. If it does apply, you proceed to certification with clarity.
Timeline depends on the service and the specific NOM. It varies with the certification body, product complexity, and lab results. We manage each stage to cut out dead time, and for urgent cases we run fast-track routes with the certification bodies.
In most cases, yes. Any equipment using radio spectrum — WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, Zigbee, LoRa — requires CRT registration in addition to NOM certification. Both processes can run in parallel to reduce total time to market. NOMAD coordinates both simultaneously.
An expired certificate voids the legal authorization for your product. After that, shipments can be held at customs even if the product is identical to one that cleared before without issue. Renewal has to happen before expiration. With NOMAD, you get alerts in time and the process starts without you having to remember it.
