Covering five major hubs in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina, providing manufacturers, traders, and brands with tiered international expansion solutions ranging from “zero operations” to “light operations.” Based on the latest official recruitment policies, this article compiles a comprehensive onboarding guide to help you quickly set up your store and avoid common pitfalls.

Particularly against the backdrop of ongoing strict scrutiny of “buy-and-ship” exports, gradually increasing transparency in platform data, and comprehensive upgrades to tax oversight, more and more companies are beginning to re-emphasize the 0110 model.
