Investors and exporters should be aware of the difficulties and peculiarities of entering the Mexican market.
New Zealand exporters wishing to do business in this Mexican market will need to conduct preliminary research, consult with the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise office in Mexico and make at least a couple of visits.
It is also recommended that you network with Kiwis who have done business in Mexico before and, preferably, with those in the same industry.
The Mexican legal system differs in many significant ways from New Zealand’s. Businesses should consult with competent legal counsel before entering into any business agreements with Mexican partners.
