What changed for imports from China in 2026?<\/h2>\n

Congress approved a decree amending various tariff items of the Tariff Schedule of the General Import and Export Tax Law (Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importaci\u00f3n y de Exportaci\u00f3n, LIGIE)<\/a>, published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOF) on December 29, 2025 and in force since January 1, 2026. Its text does not name countries; a transitory provision empowers the Ministry of Economy to implement mechanisms for imports of goods from countries without a free trade agreement in force. In general terms, and as our reading of the decree, goods from countries without a treaty are subject to the general tariff, while goods from countries with a treaty may claim the treaty’s preferential rate if they meet the rules of origin.<\/p>\n

What are antidumping and countervailing duties and how do they affect you?<\/h2>\n

The Foreign Trade Law (Ley de Comercio Exterior), Article 28<\/a> provides for them on imports sold at dumped prices or benefiting from subsidies that injure a domestic industry. An official example: the Ministry of Economy extended for five years, from December 27, 2024, a 92.64% antidumping duty (cuota compensatoria) on aluminum pressure cookers originating in China, according to the resolution published in the DOF on March 6, 2026<\/a>. Failing to pay such a duty is a ground for precautionary seizure under Article 151 of the Customs Law (Ley Aduanera)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why does the authority review value, origin and classification?<\/h2>\n

Under Article 81 of the Customs Law<\/a>, the importer and the customs broker declare, under a formal declaration of truthfulness, the description, origin, customs value and tariff classification. The authority may correct them (Article 144, sections XII and XIV). If anything is questioned, advance preparation<\/a> and, if necessary, defense of your Importers’ Registry status<\/a> depend on being able to substantiate that information.<\/p>\n

What about incorporation, investment or personnel in Mexico?<\/h2>\n

Here we focus on the customs and tariff environment for companies from China. For the general picture (incorporation, foreign investment, labor and immigration), see foreign companies in Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n
