Amid the United States’ tariff policy, Mexican exports reached a historic figure in October 2025, driven by the manufacturing industry , according to the Mexico Merchandise Trade Balance (BCMM) report, prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

During the tenth month of the year, the value of Mexico’s exports was 66 billion 133 million dollars (USD) , an annual increase of 14.2%, which represented the largest annual growth rate in the last 33 months; while the trade balance showed a surplus of 606 million USD, a balance that compares with the deficit of 2.4 billion USD last September.

Record exports

The increase in Mexican exports stemmed from a 16.3% rise in non-oil exports and a 29.8% decrease in oil exports. Within non-oil exports, those destined for the United States grew 17.1% year-on-year, while those destined for the rest of the world increased by 12.3%.

Exports of manufactured goods  totaled US$61.644 billion, a 17.4% year-on-year increase. The most significant increases were in exports of machinery and specialized equipment for various industries (110.9%), mining and metallurgical products (14.1%), professional and scientific equipment (13.1%), and electrical and electronic equipment and appliances (10.0%).

Meanwhile, exports of automotive products registered an annual decrease of 14%, which resulted from decreases of 14% in sales channeled to the United States and 14.1% in those directed to other markets.

In October 2025, the value of oil exports was 1.82 billion dollars, an amount made up of 1.3 billion dollars from crude oil sales and 520 million dollars from exports of other petroleum products.

Meanwhile, the value of agricultural and fishing exports was 1.384 billion dollars, an annual decrease of 19.5 percent.

In the period January-October of this year, the structure of the value of merchandise exports was as follows: manufactured goods with 91.5%, petroleum products with 3.3%, agricultural goods with 3.2%, and non-petroleum extractive products with 2 percent.

Imports are growing

The value of merchandise imports was $65.526 billion, representing an annual increase of 12.8% in October 2025.

In the reference month, imports of consumer goods totaled $9.86 billion, a year-on-year increase of 10.7 percent. Imports of intermediate goods reached $50.63 billion, 15.7 percent higher than in October 2024.

Imports of capital goods  reached $5.037 billion, which represented an annual decrease of 7.4 percent.

In the period January-October 2025, the accumulated value of total imports was 550 billion 096 million USD, an amount 3.1% higher than that observed in the same period of 2024. Within it, non-oil imports increased 4.1% and oil imports decreased 7.8% at an annual rate.

In the first 10 months of 2025, the structure of the value of imports was as follows: intermediate goods, 76.9%; consumer goods, 14.6%; and capital goods, 8.5 percent.

The strong pace of Mexican exports has continued into the end of the year, marking a positive trend in shipments of national goods abroad, even with protectionist trade measures around the world, driven mainly by the United States.

El cargo Mexican exports reach record highs in October apareció primero en T21.

Tsol , a technology solutions company for logistics, announced that it has signed an agreement with the Mexican Association of Shipping Agents (Amanac) to transform information management in the sector through the integration of platforms to digitize processes.

According to Tsol, this strategic alliance is to develop an innovative interface that connects the Magaya system , a technology platform especially for shippers, with Amanac services, which will allow the electronic transmission of the cargo manifest in an efficient and secure manner , representing a significant advance for freight forwarders and shipping agents in Mexico.

Erik Markeset, CEO of Tsol, explained in an interview with T21 that this interface aims, on the one hand, to reduce time and errors, and, on the other, to integrate processes , since it allows any system that companies have to be connected to the Amanac server.

He also highlighted that Miguel Ángel Hernández Pérez , from Tsol, was the one who identified the need for a solution that could be integrated, facilitating the transmission of cargo manifests through Amanac, and some processes that were previously done manually through a robust interface that adapts to the specific needs of the sector.

Erik Markeset highlighted that the implementation of this interface not only improves the operational efficiency of freight forwarders and shippers , but also represents a step towards the digitalization of the logistics sector in Mexico , especially because for the country to be competitive, there must be fluidity in administrative processes.

“The idea is to integrate all the departments of a company and not have different systems for different systems. This allows for more efficient processes in Mexico, which is important because we are an importing and exporting country. The more efficient and reliable our processes are, the more we are streamlining foreign trade and promoting Mexico in its role as a key piece in the supply chain in North America,” said Markeset.

For his part, Miguel Ángel Andrade Gómez , general director of Amanac, highlighted the importance of this initiative in the context of the modernization and digitalization of logistics processes.

“With this alliance, we can move forward with the systematization of transmission, which represents a great step forward in the collaboration we have generated,” he said.

Tsol said that with the interface already in operation, expectations are high, and it is hoped that the tool will be quickly adopted by freight forwarders and shippers operating in Mexico, benefiting from the reduction in processing times and the improvement in the accuracy of the data transmitted.

In addition, Markeset assured this media that they will continue to seek synergies with customs and associations to generate these solutions, so next year they will launch another interface for customs processes in the declaration of taxes and merchandise.
