Components are imported duty free to Mexico, whereupon a maquiladora performs the assembly needed to complete the work. The finished product is then exported out of Mexico, or in some cases to other maquilas where it is used in another assembly operation. (For example, a wire harness is assembled in Juarez and then sent to auto assembly operations in Hermosillo or Saltillo where it is installed in cars and trucks. The finished cars and trucks are then exported out of Mexico. Today’s maquilas can sell their product into the Mexican market, if they choose.

Mexico allows materials to be used in maquilas to enter duty-free, provided the finished product is then immediately exported out of Mexico. The U.S. in turn charges these products a much lower tariff than products from other countries.
