This is how we read a company's imports.
Pick a sector. These are 2026 analyses for real companies, January–August data, names withheld.
Country of origin
% of FOB value
Inspection channel
% of declarations
Finding
45% of shipments go through physical inspection and release takes 13 days. For a fast-moving product, every day in customs is a delayed sale.
MACOBSA proposal
ARCOTEL type approvals handled in advance, a standard technical file per model and early declaration to cut physical inspections and release time.
Country of origin
% of FOB value
What is imported
% of FOB value by product family
Finding
Four origins in almost equal parts: good supplier diversification, but four different sanitary requirements to manage at once.
MACOBSA proposal
An Agrocalidad permit calendar by origin, advance classification rulings for premixes and an Incoterms review to optimize insurance cost.
Port of entry
% of declarations
Share by group company
% of import lines
Finding
Over half enters through the land border and 96% clears automatically: an efficient operation worth protecting as it grows.
MACOBSA proposal
Border-to-port coordination with a single operator: clearance, road transport and tracking for all three companies on one dashboard.
Transport mode
% of declarations
Declarations by company
% of total
Finding
Many SKUs per shipment: the risk is not volume but classifying and labeling hundreds of different products.
MACOBSA proposal
A validated HS-code catalog per product and pre-shipment labeling review to reduce findings and inspection times.
