Guía completa para registrar y exportar tu marca de tequila o mezcal legalmente

Complete guide to legally registering and exporting your tequila or mezcal brand

Avoid delays, rejections, and unnecessary costs. Meet requirements from day one and export with peace of mind.

1) Trademark and intellectual property registration

  1. Prior phonetic and figurative search.
  2. Application to IMPI (class 33 and related).
  3. Trademark monitoring and defense (oppositions, renewals).

2) NOM compliance and certifications

  • Certified producer (NOM/CRT for tequila; certification for mezcal).
  • Labeling: category, % Alc. Vol., batch, label, origin, health declaration.
  • Batch tracking and traceability.

3) Documents for export (checklist)

Document Who issues it Use
commercial invoice Seller Customs and payments
Packing list Seller Logistics control
Certificates of origin and conformity Competent body Tariff preferences
Health permits/labeling Local authorities Entry into the destination country
Bill of lading Shipping company/Airline International transport

Common mistakes (and how to prevent them)

  • Register the trademark without prior search → perform search and variants.
  • Labels that do not comply with NOM → validate before printing.
  • Not considering the requirements of the destination country → adapt the label and importer.
