Importing into Mexico

How medical devices actually clear into Mexico

Regulator & registration

Authority
COFEPRIS — Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios

Class I, II, III by risk
Local representative

Realistic timeline
Ordinary route is slow; the equivalence route recognising prior FDA, Health Canada or Japanese approval is substantially faster where the product qualifies

Registration route, in order

  1. Appoint a Mexican legal representative
  2. Determine whether the equivalence route (terceros autorizados / prior approval recognition) is available — it materially shortens the timeline

  4. File for registro sanitario with COFEPRIS
  5. Registration granted, renewable on a five-year cycle
