Choosing Forklift Suppliers that Meet REPSE and IMMEX Compliance
Why Compliance Matters When Choosing Forklift Suppliers
If your plant operates under IMMEX or requires REPSE-compliant vendors, choosing the wrong forklift supplier could mean shutdowns, fines, or rejection of invoices.
Common Compliance Mistakes to Avoid
- Working with non-REPSE vendors: These can’t legally invoice labor in Mexico, even for rentals with service.
- Lack of IMMEX familiarity: Suppliers who don’t understand IMMEX can misclassify equipment or omit critical documentation.
- Missing tax documentation: CFDIs and annexes must match your import/export strategy.
How to Vet Forklift Suppliers
- Ask for REPSE registration: Ensure they’re listed and active with the Mexican labor registry.
- Validate tax compliance: Check SAT records for active RFC and proper CFDI classification.
- Request IMMEX-compatible quotes: Ensure line items match customs records and inventory control formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
REPSE and IMMEX forklift compliance
REPSE is a labor registry in Mexico. If your forklift vendor isn’t listed, they may not legally provide rental with maintenance service.
Under IMMEX, you may be required to track and report all foreign-sourced equipment. Incorrect documentation can cause customs delays.
Ensure you receive correct CFDIs, REPSE registry proof, and pedimento-aligned invoices for traceability and audits.
