										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" src="https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Comision-de-HCP-Diputados-yt.jpg" /></p>
<p><span dir="auto">A discrepancy between the price declared by an importer and the price of other goods could trigger an audit and lead to the seizure of cargo without reaching the currently established 50% threshold. This is the change that has placed the </span><strong><span dir="auto">proposed reform to the Customs Law, linked to the 2027 Economic Package,</span></strong><span dir="auto"> at the center of discussion . During a meeting held yesterday by the Finance and Public Credit Committee of the </span><a href="https://web.diputados.gob.mx/inicio"><span dir="auto">Chamber of Deputies</span></a><span dir="auto"> , representatives from productive sectors and foreign trade operators agreed on the need to combat undervaluation, but expressed differing opinions on the scope of the proposed controls and their effects on supply chains.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The Executive&#8217;s initiative proposes that when the value declared in a customs declaration is lower than the transaction value of identical or similar goods, the customs authority should initiate its verification powers ex officio. It also </span><strong><span dir="auto">eliminates the 50% threshold for the grounds for precautionary seizure under Article 151</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and the exception to that measure linked to the guarantee provided for in Article 86-A. The explanatory memorandum argues that the change would allow action against potential undervaluation practices “without modifying the valuation methods provided for in the Customs Law or attributing to said difference, in and of itself, the character of a definitive irregularity.”</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">To support the proposal, the Executive Branch reports 2,541 import transactions detected between 2025 and August 2026, with </span><strong><span dir="auto">a combined commercial value of 1.5867 billion pesos</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which did not trigger the seizure order because they fell below the current threshold. This figure represents the value of these transactions, not the amount of allegedly unpaid taxes. The initiative also indicates that in 2025 there were 44,232 definitive import transactions using customs guarantee accounts based on estimated prices, primarily in footwear, textiles, and apparel.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">José Ignacio Zaragoza Ambrosi, president of the </span><a href="https://caaarem.mx/"><span dir="auto">Confederation of Associations of Customs Brokers of the Mexican Republic (CAAAREM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , supported the revenue-raising objective but asked that the measure be directed where the problem is concentrated. “Combating undervaluation and protecting revenue is a legitimate priority for the customs brokers&#8217; association,” he stated. His proposal consists of </span><strong><span dir="auto">incorporating a due diligence standard for brokers into Article 54</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , limiting the new criterion to sensitive final consumer goods, and replacing immediate seizure with a retention process with defined deadlines for notification, proof of value, and resolution. In this way, he argued, the friction would not extend to inputs and assets used by export manufacturing.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The discussion about what constitutes a valid comparison dominated much of the meeting. Virgilio Antonio Vallejo, of the </span><a href="https://www.claa.mx/"><span dir="auto">Latin American Confederation of Customs Agents (CLAA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , argued that a price lower than that of another commodity is not sufficient to reject the declared transaction value. He requested </span><strong><span dir="auto">a study of the proposal&#8217;s compatibility with Mexico&#8217;s international customs valuation commitments</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and warned that seizures and impoundments could affect liquidity, congest customs offices, and increase the number of appeals.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Zurisadai Cruz Jain, from the foreign trade consultancy </span><a href="https://tecmex.mx/"><span dir="auto">TecMex</span></a><span dir="auto"> , explained that even goods that appear similar can have different prices due to volume, quality, or commercial conditions; she also questioned why some reviews use </span><strong><span dir="auto">prices from retail platforms</span></strong><span dir="auto"> as a reference for wholesale imported goods.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The contrasting view emerged from industries that consider themselves harmed by the undervaluation. Panambí Garcés, director general of the </span><a href="https://www.civyl.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Commission for the Wine and Spirits Industry (CIVyL)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , supported the elimination of the 50% threshold, arguing that it leaves room for irregular operations and puts formal businesses at a disadvantage. She called, however, </span><strong><span dir="auto">for a procedure that compares equivalent beverages</span></strong><span dir="auto"> based on brand, origin, quality, aging, presentation, and market level. “We are not seeking to pay less; we are seeking better tax collection for the State,” she summarized.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Alberto Lerín, representing the footwear industry chambers of Guanajuato and Jalisco, and the </span><a href="https://canaintex.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Chamber of the Textile Industry (Canaintex)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , also advocated for greater tools for the authorities. He cited cases of imported footwear with declared values ​​of one cent per dollar and argued that the entry of merchandise at artificially low prices causes damage to domestic production that a subsequent warranty cannot repair. In his opinion, </span><strong><span dir="auto">Articles 72 and 73 of the Customs Law already contain criteria for comparing identical or similar goods</span></strong><span dir="auto"> without equating products of different quality, brand, or function.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">That response did not allay the automotive industry&#8217;s concerns. Hilda López Varela, speaking on behalf of the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , explained that two components with similar appearance or function can have different prices due to technical specifications, materials, or equipment. Alejandra Rosete, Director of Foreign Trade and Economic Studies at the </span><a href="https://www.anpact.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Association of Bus, Truck, and Tractor-Trailer Manufacturers (ANPACT)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , added that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the same tariff classification can include parts intended for vehicles of different classes</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Both warned that withholding components would affect integrated operations with North American supply chains and production systems tailored to delivery times.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Gabriel Padilla Maya, director general of the </span><a href="https://ina.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Auto Parts Industry (INA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , translated this difference into practical terms: components classified under the same tariff heading may not be interchangeable and may exhibit legitimate price variations. “The same tariff heading does not necessarily mean the same merchandise from a technical or commercial standpoint,” he pointed out. </span><strong><span dir="auto">He requested comparability criteria based on application, materials, and market segment</span></strong><span dir="auto"> ; a mandatory timeframe for releasing goods once the fiscal interest has been protected; and a treatment that distinguishes automotive technical textiles from those intended for clothing and apparel.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Fernanda Padilla Rangel, representative of the </span><a href="https://index.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Council of the Maquiladora and Export Manufacturing Industry (Index)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , requested explicit clarification regarding the treatment of temporary imports by IMMEX companies. She also pointed out that </span><strong><span dir="auto">importers lack access to the values ​​of other transactions that the authorities would use to compare prices</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Index proposed resolution and cargo release deadlines once the declared value is verified or a guarantee is established. This proposal is particularly relevant because the initiative reduces the threshold for a presumption of infraction, as stipulated in Article 177, from 50% to 20% for certain regimes that allow for the determination of duties without payment, provided that all other legal conditions are met.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Liquidity was another key focus of the discussions. The initiative retains the possibility of requesting the substitution of the embargo for goods not subject to estimated prices, but establishes different treatments: for a difference of less than 20%, it provides for a cash deposit or a customs guarantee account; for a difference of 20% or more, a cash deposit. Norma Angélica Solís Rosas, from </span><strong><span dir="auto">Intrade Smart</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , and Georgina Noricumbo Aguilar, representative of </span><strong><span dir="auto">Solución Integral al Comercio Exterior</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , pointed out that </span><strong><span dir="auto">importers and customs brokers lack access to some of the third-party information necessary to anticipate these comparisons</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Noricumbo warned that immobilizing resources and goods for even small differences could be especially burdensome for smaller companies.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">From </span><a href="https://www.concanaco.org/"><span dir="auto">Concanaco Servytur</span></a><span dir="auto"> , Jessica Morales requested that the authorities provide technical justification for any doubts regarding the value before seizing goods, distinguish between correctable errors and fraudulent operations, grant the importer a hearing, and make their comparison parameters transparent. Luis Alberto Gaitán Morales, representing the import sector, asked that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the history of certified companies be considered to offer them an opportunity for clarification</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Arturo Pérez Behr, a customs broker, proposed specific treatment for used goods, whose value depends on wear and tear, repairs, functionality, and remaining useful life.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The potential effects wouldn&#8217;t end at the customs office. Antonio de la Rosa, of </span><strong><span dir="auto">Agencia Aduanal de la Rosa</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , warned about the physical capacity to store more seized merchandise and proposed strengthening subsequent audits. José Aguilar Méndez, of </span><a href="https://www.dhl.com/mx-es/home.html"><span dir="auto">DHL Express Mexico</span></a><span dir="auto"> , urged </span><strong><span dir="auto">leveraging the information already being shared by shipping lines, carriers, freight forwarders, and customs brokers</span></strong><span dir="auto"> to identify high-risk operations. Eréndira Hernández, president of the </span><a href="https://www.anafac.org/"><span dir="auto">National Association of Bonded Warehouses (Anafac)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , linked the debate to saturation and storage costs; she also suggested reviewing the framework for granting concessions and authorizations for these facilities to ensure the continuity of long-term investments.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Samuel Ortiz, a researcher at the Faculty of Economics of the </span><a href="https://www.unam.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , called for linking customs enforcement with a policy for developing domestic suppliers. Representing the garment industry, Juan Manuel Curi Ramírez and Alejandro Acalco supported combating unfair imports but expressed reservations about embargoes as a general response. Georgina Estrada, from the </span><a href="https://concamin.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , requested </span><strong><span dir="auto">that industry participate in defining valuation criteria for sensitive sectors</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . The presentations showed that even among sectors affected by undervaluation, there are differences of opinion regarding when to detain merchandise and when to allow its release with a guarantee.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">At the close of the legislative session, Patricia Flores Elizondo, of the Citizens&#8217; Movement, argued that the price difference could justify an alert, but requires </span><strong><span dir="auto">a technical procedure before passing on the cost of a seizure to the importer</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Jericó Abramo Masso, of the PRI, asked for an analysis of the conditions in each sector and announced that he would seek a counterproposal to the ruling. Héctor Saúl Téllez Hernández, of the PAN, warned that the text has a general scope even though part of the justification focuses on sensitive goods; he stated that his party would present reservations. Héctor Pedroza Jiménez, of the PVEM, supported continuing the working groups to incorporate the experience of those who operate daily in customs.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">On behalf of the Morena party, Representative Carlos Palacios highlighted the requests to </span><strong><span dir="auto">define due diligence for customs brokers, differentiate between fraud and legitimate errors and variations</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , review operating costs, and consider international valuation rules. Representative José Narro Céspedes requested that the analysis include the effects of agricultural imports on domestic producers. In closing, the Chairman of the Finance and Public Credit Committee, Carol Antonio Altamirano, announced that the report would be sent to the Ministry of Finance and that the legislative process would continue.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The pending legislative decision thus goes beyond simply eliminating a percentage. </span><strong><span dir="auto">The commission must determine what evidence justifies reviewing a transaction, under what conditions merchandise can be seized, and how long it must be released if the importer proves its value</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Whether the new controls address the undervaluation practices reported by the industry without extending their costs to the regular flow of supplies, equipment, and consumer goods depends on this precision.</span></p>

<p><strong><span dir="auto">The end of 2025 left the automotive industry facing an environment that demands adjustments</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and coordination in the face of emerging global and regional challenges. Consolidation within the sector and collaborative work among the various stakeholders will be key to navigating 2026, in a context that will require unity and adaptation, stated Rogelio Garza Garza, executive president of the </span><a href="https://www.amia.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to the agency&#8217;s figures, </span><strong><span dir="auto">light vehicle production reached 3,953,494 units in 2025</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , representing a 0.9% drop compared to 2024.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In December 2025, </span><strong><span dir="auto">manufacturing totaled 243,961 units</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , with an annual growth of 8.5%, which allowed for a partial moderation of the contraction observed throughout the past year, Garza Garza explained during the presentation of results.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding </span><strong><span dir="auto">exports</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , the CEO of AMIA indicated that just over 3.3 million light vehicles were shipped abroad last year, a figure that represented a 2.7 percent year-on-year decrease. For the last month of 2025, exports totaled 227,262 units, a 14.5 percent drop compared to December 2024.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding the </span><strong><span dir="auto">domestic market</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , Garza Garza explained that light vehicle sales grew 1.4% during 2025, based on information reported to the </span><a href="https://www.inegi.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)</span></a><span dir="auto"> . However, he clarified that, when considering brands that do not report directly to Inegi, the </span><a href="https://www.amda.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> estimated growth of approximately 5% in domestic sales, a difference due to the scope of the statistical sources used.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding 2026, he emphasized that the review of the </span><strong><span dir="auto">United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">(USMCA)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> will be a determining factor for the industry. In this context, he stated that legal certainty, clear rules, and a favorable investment environment are key elements for maintaining the competitiveness of the Mexican automotive sector.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">He also addressed the tariff and regulatory measures implemented by the federal government, noting that </span><strong><span dir="auto">AMIA</span></strong><span dir="auto"> supports the tariff modification decree announced by the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/se"><span dir="auto">Ministry of Economy</span></a><span dir="auto"> , as it seeks to strengthen industries that invest and produce in Mexico. However, he pointed out that there are still no estimates on the specific impact these measures could have on brands from countries with which Mexico does not have a trade agreement.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Garza Garza emphasized the importance of continuing to promote supplier development and regional integration of the supply chain, as well as coordination between industry and authorities, to face the challenges of the international environment and </span><strong><span dir="auto">consolidate Mexico as a strategic player in the automotive sector in North America</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">During the </span><a href="https://ina.com.mx/index.php/ciiam/"><span dir="auto">XXIII International Congress of the Automotive Industry in Mexico (CIIAM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , Rogelio Garza, executive president of the </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/amiamexico/?originalSubdomain=mx"><span dir="auto">Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , warned that the review will not only bring technical negotiations, but also a political debate with the intention of </span><strong><span dir="auto">toughening conditions</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and evaluating the impact of the growing Asian participation in the value chains.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">&#8220;A complicated process is shaping up,&#8221; he stated, noting that the challenge will be maintaining a balance in regional integration in the face of external interests.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">For his part, Francisco González, executive president of the </span><a href="https://ina.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Auto Parts Industry (INA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , emphasized that Mexico cannot limit itself to assembling vehicles, but must increase the domestic content in the automobiles of the future.

<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">&#8220;Every additional point of regional content represents more jobs, more local innovation, and more attraction of foreign direct investment,&#8221; he said.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Along the same lines, Guillermo Rosales, executive president of the </span><a href="https://www.amda.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexican Association of Automobile Dealers (AMDA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , noted that Mexico&#8217;s competitiveness will not be defined solely by the treaty negotiations, but also by the internal conditions the country manages to guarantee.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">He emphasized the need to maintain a </span><strong><span dir="auto">level playing field</span></strong><span dir="auto"> with regional partners, with clear rules and a certain environment that allows dealers and distributors to continue promoting vehicle renewal.

<p><span dir="auto">Experts agreed that, in light of the USMCA review, the central challenge will be </span><strong><span dir="auto">to strengthen regional competitiveness</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , recognizing that North American value chains are indivisible.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Under pressure from external actors and Asian competition, Mexico must strengthen its local supply chain and ensure internal conditions that consolidate it as a strategic partner in the region.</span></p>

<p><span>The Mexican automotive market closed June with a result below expectations, in the month </span><strong><span>116,059 new light vehicles</span></strong><span> were sold , which represented a drop of </span><strong><span>5.9%</span></strong><span> compared to June 2024, according to the report of the </span><a href="https://www.amda.mx/"><span>Mexican Association of Automobile Dealers (AMDA)</span></a><span> .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;With these figures, the June result was lower than AMDA&#8217;s estimate, which was 119,033 units. The estimate was 2.6% lower than the observed figure of 116,059 units,&#8221; explained </span><strong><span>Guillermo Rosales Zárate</span></strong><span> , the agency&#8217;s executive president.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>The half- yearly sales also closed in the red. Between January and June , </span><strong><span>709,341 units</span></strong><span> were sold , </span><strong><span>0.2% lower</span></strong><span> than the figure recorded in the same period in 2024. Even so, the current sales level remains </span><strong><span>10.7% higher</span></strong><span> than the figure recorded in the same period in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.</span></p>
<p><span>The economic environment still does not allow for a firm recovery.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;The economic and financial factors affecting vehicle demand have not seen substantial positive changes. In this context, market performance in June reflects a slowdown compared to the performance observed in the first quarter,&#8221; Rosales noted.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>During the first half of June, the </span><strong><span>National Consumer Price Index</span></strong><span> recorded annual inflation of </span><strong><span>4.51%</span></strong><span> , and the automobile purchase index increased by </span><strong><span>1.41%</span></strong><span> .

<p><span>Regarding  </span><strong><span>luxury brands</span></strong><span> , in the fifth month of the year, </span><a href="https://www.infiniti.mx/"><span>Infiniti registered a </span></a><strong><span>17%</span></strong><span> decrease in sales, </span><a href="https://www.honda.mx/acura"><span>Acura</span></a><span> also had a </span><strong><span>31.9%</span></strong><span>  drop   and  </span><a href="https://www.mercedes-benz.com.mx/es/passengercars.html"><span>Mercedes-Benz </span></a><span>reported a </span><strong><span>26.6%</span></strong><span>  drop  compared to May 2024.</span></p>
<p><span>In its report, Inegi announced that starting in May 2025, the company </span><a href="https://www.chirey.mx/"><span>Chirey Motor México</span></a><span>, which provided data for the </span><strong><span>Chirey and Omoda</span></strong><span> brands , will stop providing figures for the RAIAVL.</span></p>
<p><span>The decline in light vehicle sales in May 2025 was reflected in a slowdown in the Mexican market, so demand is expected to decline in the second quarter of the year.</span></p>
<p><span>Under this scenario, the Mexican automotive industry faces a </span><strong><span>challenging environment</span></strong><span>  following the imposition of  </span><strong><span>25%</span></strong><span> tariffs  on vehicles imported by the United States and manufactured in Mexico, according to </span><a href="https://www.monex.com.mx/portal/home"><span>Grupo Financiero Monex</span></a><span> .</span></p>
<p><span>Meanwhile, </span><a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/"><span>Fitch Ratings</span></a><span>  has changed its outlook for the global automotive sector from &#8220;neutral&#8221; to &#8220;deteriorated&#8221; for 2025, estimating that the U.S. tariff measure will lead to production cuts and increased costs.</span></p>
