During July 2025, the Mexican National Customs Agency (ANAM) reported that 124,877.92 million pesos (mdp) were collected , which represented an increase in real terms of 13.4% compared to the same month in 2024. This increase occurred in the context of the 90-day bilateral agreement to suspend the application of a general 30% tariff on Mexican products exported to the United States.

Among the three customs offices with the highest revenue collection in the country, Nuevo Laredo was the only one to register positive figures, with 18.42 billion pesos , a real increase of 3.1 percent. In contrast, Manzanillo saw a 3.2% drop, collecting 16.06 billion pesos, while Veracruz saw a 12.7% drop, collecting 11.17 billion pesos.

According to the  Customs Operations Dashboard , ANAM indicated that last July, the total Value Added Tax (VAT) collected was 84.75 billion pesos , reflecting a 6.6 percent increase. Meanwhile, the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) reached 22.047 billion pesos , an increase of 55.6 percent.

Despite the strong fiscal performance, a slight 0.3% drop was observed in the total number of transactions in July, which totaled 1,875,275 . Imports fell 2%, with 1,056,437 transactions; while exports increased 2%, with 818,838 transactions. The total value was 2,924,183 pesos, a 9% increase compared to July 2024.

During the period, requests for customs fell 2.9% to 961,850 , with imports suffering the greatest impact, falling 4.4% to 710,773. Exports, on the other hand, grew 1.8% to 251,077.

Of the total revenue collected in July 2025,  65,873.85 billion pesos were collected by maritime customs, a real increase of 17.4% compared to the seventh month of 2024; followed by those on the northern border, with 39,239.79 billion pesos , a 9.3% increase in real terms; while inland customs collected 19,531.52 billion pesos , an increase of 9.1%.

During the January-July 2025 period, ANAM revealed that cash flow revenues totaled 836,808.86 billion pesos , representing a real increase of 21.8% compared to the same period last year. VAT during that period was 583,792.7 billion pesos , an annual increase of 16.8%; while the IEPS tax reached 133,133.2 billion pesos , an increase of 46.6%.

Meanwhile, the value of merchandise reached 19,942,435 pesos, a 20.6% increase in real terms; meanwhile, the number of accumulated customs clearance applications decreased by 4.9%, with 6,281,251 requests; and transactions fell by 3.2%, with 12,536,727 registrations.

According to analysts, the upcoming revision of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be complex due to the protectionist economic policy promoted by the United States, which has triggered a tariff war with several countries around the world, including its main trading partners in North America: Mexico and Canada, on whom it has imposed tariffs on various products, such as steel and aluminum, which could affect the country’s customs revenue.
