Can you ship a used Hitachi excavator to Mexico?
Yes, ExcaYard can ship a used Hitachi excavator to Mexico. As a China-based used excavator export specialist, we source, inspect, and ship pre-owned Hitachi machines to worldwide destinations, including Latin America. We handle the entire process from our yard in Hefei, Anhui, to your port in Mexico, with a 150-point pre-shipment inspection and full export documentation.
Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used Hitachi excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers all major systems: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical, and structural components. We verify the machine's working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it leaves China. This transparency is crucial when shipping to Mexico, where import regulations require accurate machine descriptions.
Documentation and Certifications for Mexico
For Mexico, we provide a complete set of export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. While Mexico does not require SONCAP, SABER, PVoC, or GSA for used machinery, we can arrange any additional certification you may need. Our team is experienced with Latin American import rules and will ensure your paperwork meets Mexican customs requirements. We also handle KEBS for other destinations, but for Mexico, the standard export documents are sufficient.
Payment Terms
We accept payment via T/T USD wire, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For first-time buyers, we recommend a 30% deposit by T/T, with the balance paid before shipment. If you prefer the security of a letter of credit, we can work with your bank through Bank of China. All payment terms are clearly stated in the proforma invoice, and we provide regular updates throughout the process.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We offer FOB and CIF terms. For Mexico, we typically ship from Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, or Tianjin. You can choose RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), container, or flat-rack shipping. RoRo is often the most cost-effective for excavators that can be driven on and off the vessel. Container shipping is suitable for smaller machines, while flat-rack is ideal for larger units that need to be lifted. The typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port, depending on the vessel schedule and destination port in Mexico.
