VERIFIED CHANNEL REGISTRY

Channel Registry — Verified Sourcing Infrastructure

The verified channel registry underlying Sourcing Dossier's operating markets. Each entry is classified by verification tier — confirmed live inventory, search-corroborated evidence, or a documented institutional lead pending direct confirmation — and re-checked at time of engagement.

Registry compiled 2026-07-19 · re-verified per engagement
Verified Live — active listing or price confirmed by direct access Corroborated — channel confirmed, direct access restricted; evidence from indexed search data Institutional Lead — confirmed entity or vendor, live inventory pending direct confirmation

Mexico

The strongest compute-hardware market of the four. Mercado Libre Mexico carries active, live used-enterprise-server inventory — Dell, HP, and Xeon-class specifically — plus a confirmed regional ITAD vendor for bulk sourcing. The binding constraint is customs, not supply: Mexican law restricts used-goods import on many Chapter 84 tariff fractions, values used equipment by SAT appraisal rather than invoice price, and requires the same NOM-019/NOM-024 certification as new equipment.
Duty0–20% under TIGIE; new IT hardware (HS 8471) generally duty-free, especially USMCA-origin with certificate of origin
VAT (IVA)16% on CIF landed value
Used-goods restrictionMany Chapter 84 fractions restrict or prohibit used-goods import outright. Customs value set by SAT appraisal, not invoice price. Same NOM-019 (safety) / NOM-024 (labeling) certification required as new equipment. Importer must be registered in the Padrón de Importadores.
Cost-reduction pathsIMMEX (maquila program) waives import tax/VAT on temporary imports; PROSEC cuts tariffs to 0–5% for qualifying sectors — both require program registration, not available to a one-off buyer.
Mercado Libre Mexico — Servidores UsadosVerified live
listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/servidores-usados
Active categories for used Dell, HP, and Xeon-based servers; seller financing (cuotas sin interés) is common. Deepest used-enterprise-server marketplace confirmed across all four markets.
Mercado Libre Mexico — Equipo de Cómputo Usado (general)Verified live
computacion.mercadolibre.com.mx
Broader used-desktop/workstation category on the same platform.
XSi — LatAm IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)Documented lead
xsnet.com
Commercial ITAD vendor with confirmed Mexico coverage — servers, storage, networking hardware, certified data destruction and refurbishment. Direct-outreach channel for bulk/enterprise decommission sourcing, not a public marketplace.
INDEP federal asset-forfeiture auctionsDocumented lead
No public IT-equipment lot confirmed this pull — a confirmed institution, unconfirmed as a live hardware channel. Follow up per engagement.
Mercado Libre Mexico — Servidores Usados XeonVerified live
listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/servidores-usados-xeon
Best-verified GPU/inference-rig-adjacent hardware source of the four markets.

No verified channel in this category as of the current registry cycle.

Colombia

Second-strongest compute-hardware market. Mercado Libre Colombia carries active, live, enterprise-grade rack-server listings with full specs (Dell PowerEdge, Xeon E5-2600-class, dual-socket 2U), concentrated in Bogotá. CISA — Colombia's state asset-liquidation entity, already the trusted channel for the parallel real-estate sourcing line — operates a live electronic-auction platform, but its IT-equipment lot cadence wasn't confirmed live this session.
Duty0–20% (simple-average MFN 6.8%); IT equipment gets duty-free treatment under the Colombia–US Trade Promotion Agreement when properly certified
VAT19%
Used-goods restrictionCommercial imports of used electronics over $2,000 require pre-approval. Personal/traveler allowance: $2,000 duty-free, max 10 units per product type — above that is a "commercial shipment" requiring full import declaration.
Misclassification riskPenalties of 100–300% of duty owed for incorrect tariff classification — a licensed customs broker (agente de aduanas) is not optional at commercial scale.
Mercado Libre Colombia — Servidores UsadosVerified live
computacion.mercadolibre.com.co/usados/servidores-usados
Active listings confirmed: Dell PowerEdge R240, Xeon E5-2600-class rack servers (2U, dual-socket, up to 24 cores/48 threads), concentrated in Bogotá.
CISA — Central de Inversiones S.A. (state asset auctions)Documented lead
subastas.cisa.gov.co
Established state entity, already used for the real-estate sourcing line. Muebles/bienes tecnológicos category exists; no active IT-specific lot confirmed live this session — check per engagement.
Mercado Libre Colombia — CPU/Servidor (Xeon-class)Verified live
computacion.mercadolibre.com.co/computadores/cpu/servidor
Same live-verified platform as compute & hardware.

No verified channel in this category as of the current registry cycle.

Puerto Rico

Structurally the lowest-friction market of the four — US territory, zero international customs on US-origin hardware moving either direction. Consumer/light-commercial marketplaces confirmed live, plus a genuine federal-surplus pipeline (GSA Auctions, fed by Fort Buchanan in San Juan). Trading/market-data equipment sourcing is plausible given PR's insurance and fund-manager sector, but no specific vendor was confirmed this session.
DutyNone — US territory, same as interstate US commerce for US-origin goods
TaxNo federal VAT; PR's own IVU (sales & use tax) applies to the sale, combined state+municipal ~11.5% — not an import charge
Used-goods restrictionNone specific to used electronics — simplest legal case of the four markets.
GSA Auctions — PR-located federal surplusVerified live
gsaauctions.gov (Computer Equipment & Accessories, PR filter)
7 active PR-located lots confirmed at time of pull under Computer Equipment & Accessories. Fort Buchanan (San Juan) is the primary PR federal-surplus feeder into GSA/GovDeals.
ClasificadosOnline.com — Computadoras/Equipo ComercialVerified live
clasificadosonline.com
Active consumer listings confirmed (Surface Pro X, MacBook 12" Retina, San Juan). Consumer-grade, not enterprise.
ClasificadosPR.com — Electrónicos/ComputadorasVerified live
clasificadospr.com
11 active computer listings, 7 printer listings confirmed at time of pull.
GSA Auctions PR lots (category filter)Verified live
gsaauctions.gov
Same federal-surplus pipeline as compute & hardware — no PR-specific GPU/agent-econ inventory confirmed this session, would ride the same channel if it surfaces.
PR finance/insurance-sector decommissioningDocumented lead
PR's Act-60 fund-manager and reinsurance sector plausibly decommissions trading terminals/data-feed hardware periodically. No specific vendor or channel confirmed this session — a direct-outreach lead, not a proven channel.

Georgia

Confirmed for consumer/component-grade compute — minda.city/baraholka.ge has live, priced component listings — plus episodic enterprise gear via the US Embassy Tbilisi's own surplus auctions. No standing enterprise-server marketplace and no confirmed trading-equipment channel at this time.
Duty0% — electronics fall in the zero-duty band covering ~90% of Georgian tariff lines
VAT18%, on CIF landed value
Clearance fee5 GEL (~$1.85) under 3,000 GEL declared value; 60 GEL (~$22) above
Used-goods restrictionNo condition-based duty differential found — rate follows HS code, not new-vs-used. Dual-use/comms hardware may require an export-control permit.
minda.city / baraholka.ge — Computers & ComponentsVerified live
minda.city/en/elektro/computers.html
Component-level listings confirmed: SSD 512GB used ₾70, i5-4570 CPU ₾50, ASRock B85 Pro4 motherboard ₾80, full custom PC ₾5,200. No dedicated rack-server listings surfaced — consumer/component-grade only.
US Embassy Tbilisi Online AuctionVerified live
online-auction.state.gov
Periodic institutional surplus: HP DL Proliant servers, UPS units, desktops sold ex-Embassy warehouse (CAC3, George Balanchine St). Episodic lot auctions, not a standing catalog — check for open lots per engagement.
minda.city component listings (GPU/CPU/RAM)Verified live
minda.city/en/elektro/computers/kompyutery-i-komplektuyuschie.html
Confirmed for individual GPU/CPU/RAM sourcing (local dev/inference rigs). No evidence of any GPU-cluster or datacenter-scale inventory in-country.

No verified channel in this category as of the current registry cycle.
