Mexico: We Buy CNC Machines and Whole Plants

KD Machinery buys CNC machine tools, fabrication equipment and plastics machinery from manufacturers in Mexico, from a surplus lathe to a whole plant bought outright. KD Machinery works from Scottsdale, Arizona, linked by Interstate highways to the Nogales crossing into Sonora.

A plant in Mexico starts by sending photos, the serial plates and a list of what goes and what stays on the floor. KD Machinery can then make one offer for a single machine or for the full line, bought outright.

Buyers in Mexico can purchase from the same inventory. Metalworking comes first, with CNC machines, then fabrication equipment such as press brakes, then plastics machinery such as injection molding machines.

Mexico: common questions

Can KD Machinery buy a machine that our plant in Mexico brought in under IMMEX?

Usually, once the machine's import status is settled. IMMEX is one of Mexico's temporary import regimes. Under Mexico's customs law, machinery imported temporarily under a maquila or export program must be returned abroad or moved to another customs regime. Before an offer is final, the plant confirms with its customs broker which of those routes the machine will take, so the sale and the removal follow the right customs filing.

We are buying a machine from KD Machinery for a plant in Mexico. Who handles the import?

The buyer, as importer, clears the machine through Mexican customs, which it can do through a Mexican customs broker. The basic Mexican import document is the pedimento, the customs declaration, and it must be accompanied by a commercial invoice in Spanish and a bill of lading. Sending the broker's contact details with the order lets both sides check the paperwork before the truck reaches the border.

Our US company is closing its maquiladora in Mexico. What happens to the machines imported under its program?

Mexico's customs law lets a maquiladora keep machinery imported temporarily under its program in the country for the life of that program; after that, each machine goes back abroad or changes to another customs regime, which the plant's customs broker confirms. For the sale itself, an auction or an auction-based plant liquidation goes to KD Auctions. A single outright price for the machinery comes from KD Machinery.
