| Increased Tariffs on Imports of Selected Products | Incremento de aranceles a la importaci贸n de ciertos productos |
| As an additional measure to those taken last year, the Federal Government again modified the Law of General Import and Export Taxes (Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importaci贸n y Exportaci贸n) in order to provide fair conditions to national industry and prevent bad practices in international trade, promoting the development of national industry and supporting the domestic market to balance the situation faced with the global market that has taken place as a consequence of the nearshoring phenomenon. For these purposes, it was established to temporarily increase, for two years starting on April 23, 2024, the tariffs of 554 tariff sections corresponding to: steel, aluminum, textiles, apparel, footwear, wood, plastic and its manufactures, chemical products, paper and cardboard, ceramic products, glass and its manufactures, electrical equipment, transportation equipment, musical instruments, and furniture, among others. The increase in these tariffs is between 5% and 50%. The above is in replacement to the temporary increase in tariffs of 392 tariff sections related to steel, aluminum, bamboo, rubber, chemical products, oils, soap, paper, cardboard, ceramic products, glass, electrical equipment, musical instruments, and furniture, among others, established through amendment of the General Import and Export Tax Law (Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importaci贸n y Exportaci贸n) of August 15, 2023, where the increase in these tariffs was between 5% and 25%, depending on the imported products for the period from August 16, 2023 to July 31, 2025. Additionally, the tariffs incentive of the Mexican Sector Promotion Programs (Programas de Promoci贸n Sectorial) applicable to the tariffs sections of several steel products will be maintained for the same period (two years) in order to protect production chains and the competitiveness of the electric, electronic, automotive, and auto parts industrial sectors. The increases in such tariffs does not apply to imports of products originating in countries where Mexico has entered into a Free Trade Agreement as long as the requirements of the treaties are complied with.
