Mexico Approves Significant Tariff Increases On Imports From Non-FTA Countries

On Dec. 10, 2025, the Mexican Senate approved amendments to the Law on General Import and Export Duties ("Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importación y Exportación"), introducing substantial tariff increases on 1,463 tariff lines. These amendments are expected to enter into force on Jan. 1, 2026.

Scope of Application

The revised tariffs will apply exclusively to imports originating from countries with which Mexico does not maintain a free trade agreement (FTA). Affected jurisdictions include China, Korea, India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, and Turkey. Imports from Mexico's FTA partners—such as the United States, Canada, Japan, and Singapore—will remain exempt.
