How to Buy in Mexico

The following will help you prepare for your trip to purchase handicrafts in Mexico. You need to prepare for your trip in advance.

Homework

You will want to have a good idea of your purchasing goals. How much do you want to spend, who are your clients, what market do you want to appeal to, what types of products do you want, how much can you sell them for?

It's a good idea is to take a look through our Product Photo Galleries... Each one is a terrific example of items that are readily available in Mexico and that fly off the shelves in the U.S.

Go into shops, look at catalogs, know what you need to purchase.

Pack Your Suitcase and Your Briefcase!

It is best to bring everything you know you'll need, because you won't necessarily find it in Guadalajara. Bring along your personal items, such as your toiletries, and plan to dress comfortably.

You'll also want to bring a well-stocked briefcase, with general office supplies, such a small stapler,a calculator and blank invoices.

Know the Customs Regulations

Knowing about customs regulations is always helpful when traveling, but this information is especially important when you intend to shop truckloads of products across the border.

For example, did you know that you can incur a fine if every item is not marked 'Made in Mexico'? Do you know what kind of packaging is allowed into the US and what will cause your truck to be banned from crossing the border?

Cella Imports can help you deal with all these and the myriad of other issues you will most certainly encounter. Our escorted buying trips will not only ease the entire process, but we will also save you more money than the cost of our escorted services!

For detailed information about a buying trip, from planning to purchasing to unpacking the truck, you may want to read our book, Taking the Mystery Out of Mexico.

If you register for an escorted buying tour, you will receive this book at no additional charge. If you simply wish to purchase the book, please contact us.

Additionally, you may want to sign up for our periodic newsletter, which provides you with lots of information about current deals and products in Mexico, tips about purchasing, and schedules. This is free of charge, so we hope you'll take advantage of it.
