#MexicoEndsTariff

It looks like Mexico recently modified its tariff policy rather than ending tariffs entirely. On April 22, 2024, the Mexican Ministry of Economy issued a decree imposing temporary import duties ranging from 5% to 50% on 544 different product categories. These include steel, aluminum, textiles, clothing, footwear, plastics, chemical products, paper, and more. The new tariffs will be in effect for two years, from April 23, 2024, to April 22, 2026. The decision was justified as a measure to protect domestic production chains and boost Mexico’s economy [oai_citation:1,Import Duties of 544 HTS Codes Are Temporarily Modified in Mexico | Insights | Holland & Knight](https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2024/04/import-duties-of-544-hts-codes-are-temporarily-modified-in-mexico).

Additionally, Mexico changed the application criteria for "Regla Octava" (Rule 8), which previously allowed temporary duty-free imports of certain "sensitive" goods like steel, textiles, sugar, and tobacco. These products are now subject to import duties, impacting businesses relying on duty exemptions [oai_citation:2,Mexican tariff regime changes affect US companies with manufacturing operations: PwC](https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/tax/library/mx-tariff-regime-changes-affect-us-cos-with-mfg-ops-in-mx.html).
