What we handle
Eight deliverables. One legal team.
Everything required to move from "we want to sell in Mexico" to a fully compliant, marketplace-approved operation — in the order you'll actually need it.
RFC (Mexican Tax ID) Registration
Obtaining your company's RFC with SAT — the tax registration required before you can invoice, open a business bank account, or register on any marketplace.
Legal Business Address (Domicilio Fiscal)
Establishing a compliant registered business address in Mexico, required for SAT registration and marketplace verification.
Trademark Classification & Registration (IMPI)
Filing your brand under the correct trademark classification with Mexico's Industrial Property Institute — protecting your name before launch, and satisfying marketplace brand-registry requirements where applicable.
Industry-Specific Government Permits
Identifying and obtaining the permits required for your specific product category or service line — cosmetics, electronics, food-adjacent products, and others each carry different regulatory requirements in Mexico.
Fully Certified, Verification-Ready Documentation
Every document issued carries the correct official government stamps, signatures, holograms, electronic certification, and QR verification codes — built to pass scrutiny from SAT, a bank, or a marketplace's review team.
Marketplace Approval Documentation
Preparing your legal and tax documentation specifically for category approval and seller verification on Amazon Mexico, Mercado Libre, and TikTok Shop — formatted the way each platform's compliance review actually expects to see it.
Import, Sales & Production Legal Guidance
Ongoing legal guidance for importing and selling physical products in Mexico, or for establishing a production or assembly facility — including IMMEX program eligibility and shelter-provider arrangements where relevant.

A predictable timeline, not a black box.
Four stages, several running in parallel — so you know what's happening and when you'll actually be ready to operate.

Lic. José Luis Ortega Ochoa
Founding Attorney, Astra Legal
Licensed Mexican attorney, with direct experience representing Chinese investors in the Mexican market. Every engagement is overseen personally — from initial diagnosis through incorporation, compliance, and ongoing legal support.
One legal team, start to finish
No handoffs between a formation agent, a separate accountant, and a separate trademark filer.
We stand behind what we set up
Proper KYC and documented beneficial ownership on every case — protecting you from the compliance issues that surface later for structures that skip this step.
Clear communication, no gaps
All documentation, contracts, and this page itself are available in Chinese. Consultations are conducted in English, with interpretation support available on request — so nothing gets lost between your team and Mexican authorities or platforms.
