MFI International Embraces the New Customs System in Mexico

    EL PASO, TX, June 07, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MFI International has taken an important step forward with its successful implementation of the newly mandated Ventanilla Unica de Comercio Exterior Mexicano (VUCEM) system. On June 1st, MFI completed its first VUCEM transaction flawlessly and with no complications, thanks to its experienced staffs' anticipation and careful advanced preparation.

The newly mandated VUCEM protocol is intended as a tool to decrease the paperwork and "red tape" associated with many crossborder transactions. All crossborder transactions can be now be processed electronically. There are many significant benefits envisioned with this process including:

- Elimination of all actual paper forms
- Single point of contact for all electronic documentation
- Documentation can be procured at any time and from any place with an Internet connection
- Significant reduction in customs procedures
- Virtual elimination of border paperwork delays
- Increased transparency of foreign trade transactions
- Increased legal compliance
- Improved overall security of products and cargo
- Faster crossborder shipments.

Lawrence Wollschlager, Chief Operating Officer of MFI points out that "The VUCEM process aids in the supply chain, by making the import/export processing more efficient, with less paperwork, and less time. This translates into faster crossborder shipments. All of these factors benefit our clients, which they can pass to the end consumer or their bottom line. It's a win-win situation for everyone on both sides of the border."

The VUCEM electronic portal was officially mandated for all cross border transactions on June 1st, 2012. MFI was one of the earliest cross border Mexico manufacturing companies to embrace the system and was in compliance within a few days. On this point, Mr. Wollschlager emphasizes that, "MFI always strives to be proactive in providing our clients with the most up to date and cost-efficient methods for manufacturing their products in Mexico. Our seamless integration of the new VUCEM portal is further evidence of this fact."

VUCEM is just the latest in a series of hurdles that companies engaged in manufacturing in Mexico must overcome. These innovations and new processes promote efficiencies throughout Mexico's supply chain, by utilizing a knowledgeable turnkey Manufacturer like MFI.
