MVE by industry

MVE for the food and beverage industry

Food and beverage importers face valuations that include specialized packaging costs, sanitary certifications and refrigerated freight. The MVE requires declaring these additions accurately while handling high-volume, high-turnover operations. Camtom automates MVE generation so each food shipment complies without delaying the cold chain.

MVE challenges in your industry

1

Properly declaring specialized packaging costs and NOM labeling as additions

2

Including sanitary certification expenses (SENASICA, COFEPRIS) when they are a condition of sale

3

Handling high-volume operations with multiple products and suppliers per shipment

4

Valuing perishable products where prices fluctuate significantly between shipments

5

Documenting the valuation method for agricultural products subject to quotas and preferential tariffs

How Camtom solves it

Camtom automatically identifies packaging and labeling costs that qualify as additions under Art. 65 LA

2

3

Processes multi-product shipments and generates a consolidated MVE per operation in minutes

4

Maintains a price history per supplier to detect atypical variations that could trigger reviews

5

Automatically applies treaty preferential tariffs and quotas when calculating value
