New measures regarding the export of goods from Mexico were published on June 3, 2025, in the Federal Official Gazette (DOF) through the "AGREEMENT subjecting specific goods to the automatic export notification requirement," which establishes the obligation to submit an automatic export notification for certain goods classified under 30 different Harmonized Tariff Schedule headings, which includes, among others, the following products:
- beer
- tequila
- raw gold
- engine parts
- catalytic converters
- laptops
- telecommunications equipment
- refrigerators
- fiberoptic cables
- medical instruments
- automatic control instruments
In this regard, the procedure to obtain the automatic export notification must follow the steps below:
- The automatic notification request must be submitted individually for each export customs declaration (pedimento).
- A letter must be attached to the request in accordance with Rule 1.3.5 of the Foreign Trade Rules, as well as the Excel file that will be published later by the Ministry of Economy, and that will be available online.
- The request must be submitted by sending the corresponding documentation through email.
- The automatic notification requests may be submitted starting June 30, 2025.
Once the request is submitted, the General Directorate of Trade Facilitation and Foreign Trade (DGFCCE) of the Ministry of Economy will have a maximum period of 10 business days to issue the automatic notification, with the possibility of requesting additional documentation from the exporter to validate the information provided in the corresponding form.
It is worth mentioning that the regulation applies to all exported goods, without distinguishing between permanent or temporary exports, and does not establish exceptions for returns from Industria Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de Servicios de Exportación (IMMEX) companies, including virtual operations.
This measure will enter into force on July 7, 2025, in accordance with official Letter No. 516.2025.1850 issued by the DGFCCE.
The agreement can be found at DOF website.
In this regard, it is important that exporters carefully review the format published by the Ministry of Economy for such purposes, as well as the information presented in said format. For more information or questions, please contact the authors.
