The Mexican government has published a notice announcing that as of July 7 it will begin requiring automatic export permits for goods classified under 30 different classification numbers. Affected products include malt beer, tequila, catalytic converters, computers and computer parts, fiber optic cables, telecommunications equipment, refrigerators, and medical instruments.
Interested parties will have to request permits for exports of covered goods from Mexico’s Ministry of Economy, which (provided the specified requirements are met) will automatically issue permits within ten business days after requests are received. However, such permits will not exempt shipments from compliance with other regulations and requirements applicable to the export of goods.
The ministry said this change is needed to generate and analyze detailed information on export flows to Mexican trading partners given the ongoing shift of global trade from a model based on comparative advantages to one based on strategic advantages.
