01.
US cabinet distributors add 40-60% markup between the factory and your project.
Most contractors buying kitchen cabinets from a US distributor pay $180 to $320 per linear foot for mid-market assembled cabinets. The same cabinets sourced from a verified factory in Mexico land at $90 to $160 per linear foot, duties included, because USMCA eliminates import tariffs on qualifying products.
On a 50 LF kitchen project across 20 units, that difference is $90,000 to $160,000.
The tariff situation makes this even more significant right now. Chinese cabinets carry a 25% Section 301 tariff. Many distributors quietly shifted sourcing to Mexico or Vietnam but kept their prices the same. You are absorbing the savings they captured.
0% duty from Mexico
USMCA eliminates import tariffs on qualifying cabinet products from Mexico. No distributor needed to capture this advantage.
Full landed cost
FOB + freight + duties + US customs + inland trucking. One number. You approve before committing.
No import experience needed
We handle sourcing, sampling, production tracking, customs clearance, and delivery coordination.
02.
How it works.
You don't need import experience. We handle the process end to end.
Factory sourcing
We identify 2 to 3 verified factories that match your spec, quality level, and volume. We present options with FOB pricing, lead times, certifications, and sample availability. Back to you within 3 to 5 business days.
Sample approval
Before production starts, we coordinate physical samples or door samples to your location. You approve the door style, finish, box construction, and hardware. Nothing moves forward until you say yes.
Production & inspection
We track production at key milestones. Before the container is loaded, we coordinate a pre-shipment inspection verifying quantity, finish quality, and spec compliance. You receive the inspection report and photos.
Customs & delivery
We coordinate US customs clearance, USMCA documentation where applicable, and inland freight. You receive the cabinets at your job site or warehouse with the complete documentation package.
03.
How we protect your order from day one.
01 · Verification
Factory verified before we source
We do not send you a factory directory listing. Every supplier we present has been verified: export history to the US, current catalog with specs, declared lead times, payment terms, and the ability to send door samples. If a factory does not meet that standard, you never hear about it.
02 · Sample approval
No bulk order without your sign-off
No bulk order moves forward without you approving physical samples. You verify the door style, box construction, finish quality, and hardware compatibility. If the sample does not match what was quoted, we find a different factory.
03 · Inspection
Pre-shipment inspection
Before the container is loaded, we coordinate a third-party or factory inspection to verify quantity, condition, finish consistency, and spec compliance. You receive the report before approving container loading.
04 · Documentation
Full documentation package
Every order includes the complete documentation set required for US import, including USMCA Certificate of Origin for Mexican cabinets. No surprises at customs, no missing certificates, no delays.
05 · Landed cost
Total cost locked before you commit
We quote FOB + freight + duties + customs + inland trucking before you place the order. USMCA paperwork is included in the quote for Mexican cabinets. You know the total cost before you spend a dollar.
06 · Tracking
Production tracking · no silence
You get updates at key milestones: deposit confirmed, production started, inspection passed, container loaded. You are not waiting in silence.
04.
Every order · full documentation.
This is where most sourcing intermediaries fall short. They send you a FOB quote and stop communicating. We provide the complete documentation set required for US import, so your customs broker has everything they need and you have a paper trail for every order.

Three sourcing regions. One logistics process.
Mexico
USMCA advantage · best value right nowMexico has become the strongest cabinet sourcing option for US buyers. USMCA eliminates import duty on qualifying solid wood and plywood-based cabinets, and proximity means significantly shorter transit than ocean freight.

Who uses Nexo.
Profile · 01
General Contractors
You're building 20 townhomes in Broward County. Each unit needs 48 LF of kitchen cabinets. Your current supplier quoted $190 per LF. A verified factory in Mexico lands at $105-$120 per LF with USMCA documentation included. That's $67,200 to $81,600 back on this project alone.
Profile · 02
Developers
You're delivering 30 multifamily units and cabinet costs are compressing your margin. You have never imported before and do not want to manage the logistics. You do not have to. Nexo handles sourcing, inspection, customs, and delivery. You get one landed cost per LF and compare it against your current number.
Profile · 03
Procurement Managers
You evaluate suppliers for a construction company running 5 to 8 projects per year. You need CARB Phase 2 documentation, HTS code confirmation, USMCA certificate of origin, factory inspection report, and full customs paperwork. We provide all of it as part of every order.

What to expect on pricing.
Minimum order · $10,000 FOB
In practice, roughly 80 to 200 LF of assembled cabinets depending on spec, or a larger quantity of RTA product.
The tariff factor: Mexican product qualifies for 0% duty under USMCA. Chinese product carries 25% Section 301 tariff. Vietnamese product falls under standard rates. We calculate this accurately before presenting any option.
What we do is give you the complete number before you commit. You will never be surprised by a duty bill after the fact.
| Spec | US distributor | Nexo landed | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTA shaker · white thermofoil | $75-$110/LF | $38-$58/LF | 40-50% |

Why we built this
Why Nexo exists.
Most people buying kitchen cabinets for a construction project have no idea that the product they're paying $200 per LF for came from the same factories in Mexico and Vietnam that export directly for $80 to $120. The distributor did not add $80 to $100 of value per linear foot. They added two phone calls, a warehouse, and a catalog.
The tariff situation made this even clearer. When the 25% Section 301 tariff hit Chinese cabinets, most US distributors quietly shifted sourcing to Mexico or Vietnam to protect their margins. Very few passed those savings on. You kept paying the same price while their cost of goods dropped by 25%.
Nexo exists to fix that information gap. We connect US contractors and developers directly to verified factories, handle the import process, and deliver a complete landed cost before you commit to anything. No distributor markup. No tariff surprises. No logistics headaches.
If you have a project with a real cabinet budget and want to know what direct sourcing actually costs, we'll tell you in 3 to 5 business days.

FAQ.
Frequently asked.
What's the minimum order for wholesale cabinets?
Our minimum is $10,000 FOB. For assembled cabinets, that typically means 80 to 200 linear feet depending on the spec and finish level. For RTA product, the minimum quantity is higher in linear footage because the unit cost is lower. We confirm the practical minimum for your specific spec when we respond to your inquiry.
How does the USMCA duty exemption work for Mexican cabinets?
Under USMCA, qualifying cabinet products manufactured in Mexico can enter the US at 0% import duty. To qualify, the product must meet the rules of origin requirements and be accompanied by a USMCA Certificate of Origin. We handle the certification process with the factory and include the USMCA documentation in every Mexican order. You do not need to manage this yourself.
How is Chinese cabinet sourcing affected by the 25% Section 301 tariff?
The 25% tariff applies to most cabinet products sourced from China under the relevant HTS codes. We calculate this duty accurately in your landed cost quote before you commit to anything. For some specs and volumes, Chinese cabinets still land at a competitive total cost even with the tariff. For others, Mexico or Vietnam is the better choice. We present both options with accurate numbers so you can compare.
What is CARB Phase 2 compliance and why does it matter?
CARB Phase 2 is the California Air Resources Board standard for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including MDF and plywood used in cabinet construction. It has become the de facto US market standard. All cabinets we source include CARB Phase 2 certification documentation. If your project is in California or requires CARB compliance explicitly, we confirm this with the factory before presenting them as an option.
How long does delivery take?
Production lead time is 6 to 12 weeks depending on factory and order complexity. Transit time varies: 5 to 10 days from Mexico by truck, 18 to 28 days from Vietnam by ocean, 22 to 30 days from China. We confirm production and transit timelines with each factory before presenting options. If your timeline is tight, Mexico is almost always the right answer.
Can we get samples before placing an order?
Yes. Physical door samples and finish samples are standard before any bulk order is confirmed. Sample lead time is typically 2 to 4 weeks from the factory. Some factories charge for samples; others include them for qualified buyers. We confirm this upfront before requesting anything.
Do you source RTA or only pre-assembled cabinets?
Both. RTA (ready-to-assemble) is primarily sourced from China and is the most cost-effective option for projects where on-site assembly is not a constraint. Pre-assembled is available from Mexico, Vietnam, and China. We recommend based on your project logistics, timeline, and total landed cost.
How is Nexo different from a cabinet distributor or trading company?
A US cabinet distributor buys from factories, marks up the product, and sells to you. A trading company often aggregates orders without deep factory relationships. Nexo sources exclusively for your project from verified factories, coordinates the full import process, provides complete documentation, and delivers a landed cost before you commit. We do not carry inventory and we do not mark up product. Our fee is a sourcing commission paid by the factory, structured so our interest is aligned with getting you the best verified option, not moving a product we already bought.
