Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SAT code, and what does it have to do with importing/exporting? A SAT code is a standardized classification used by Mexico’s tax authority (SAT) to identify goods and services on invoices. While it’s primarily for fiscal purposes, it’s especially relevant in importing/exporting because the SAT code must align with your tariff classification to ensure compliance and avoid issues with customs or tax authorities.
Why are SAT codes so important for importing and exporting? When importing or exporting goods, your invoice must include the correct SAT code to match your tariff classification. This ensures your operation complies with Mexico’s tax and customs regulations. Using the wrong SAT code can lead to red flags during customs clearance, audits, or tax penalties.
Can’t I just Google the SAT code for my product? You could try—but SAT codes can be nuanced, and choosing the wrong one can create compliance risks. Our SAT Search Tool uses AI to analyze your product description and suggest the most likely matches, ranked by confidence level and backed by reasoning, helping you avoid guesswork.
Are SAT codes the same for every country? No. SAT codes are specific to Mexico and used for its electronic invoicing system. Other countries have their own tax coding systems. If you’re operating in Mexico or trading with Mexican businesses, using the correct SAT code is essential.
Can the SAT Search find the code for every product? Our tool is built to handle a wide range of product and service descriptions, but no system is perfect. It provides the three most likely SAT codes based on your input, along with confidence percentages and reasoning, to help guide your selection. For complex cases, it’s always good to confirm with a tax professional.
