EXCLUSIONS
Unlisted LIGIE tariff lines and modifications remain in force as previously published. The decree also says the Economy Ministry may create specific mechanisms for imports from countries with which Mexico has no free trade agreement in force.
USMCA
The decree changes Mexico's general tariff rates. The text we read does not address goods that qualify under USMCA (T-MEC), so check preferential treatment before assuming US or Canadian goods pay these rates.
WHAT TO DO (OUR GUIDANCE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE)
Match Mexico import SKUs against the listed LIGIE fractions before January 1, 2026 and update landed-cost calculations for affected entries. The tables are long: check the official DOF publication for the complete table before filing.
