Klatu to Add Mexico DDP Capability to eCom International e-Commerce Solution
Mexico DDP capability will enable real-time DDP Pricing for IT and Consumer Electronics Products sold by US suppliers
Klatu's eCom e-commerce solution already calculates DDP landed cost pricing to nearly 40 countries in the region and calculates pricing under several other types of Incoterms, including EXW, DDU, CIF and FCA. The functionality is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2004 and will permit USA suppliers to quote DDP pricing to consumers throughout the region, now including Mexico.

About Mexico Import Duty and Tax rates, NAFTA, and Incoterms
For information about Mexico Import Duty and Tax rates, please contact the Mexico desk officer at the USA Trade Center at the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington DC. Their phone number is 202.482.2000 and their website is www.trade.gov/tic The NAFTA agreement eliminates all tariffs on goods originating in Canada, Mexico and the United States over a "transition period" and rules of origin define which goods are eligible for this preferential tariff treatment.. Simply stated, (and with specific exceptions) goods that originate within North America or goods containing non-regional materials may be considered to be North American if the non-regional materials are sufficiently transformed within the NAFTA region so as to undergo a specified change in tariff classification.
"Incoterms" is a set of standard trade definitions maintained by the International Chamber of Commerce and used in international sales contracts created. Incoterms are also international rules that are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners worldwide as legal terms in international trade.
