As of March 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada, through Executive Order 14194.
In the case of Mexico, this tariff will apply to originating goods regardless of whether they qualify under the USMCA or are temporary imports.
It is anticipated that no drawback will be granted.
Excluded are some humanitarian products (donation of food, clothing and medicines), as well as information materials (books, films, records, works of art) and low-value goods (less than USD$800 under the “de minimis” rule).
Additionally, it was reported that it will add another 10% tariff on products originating in China, in addition to the initial 10% that was imposed in February.
The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that on March 9 she will announce the tariff and non-tariff measures that Mexico could adopt in reaction to the imposition of the tariffs.
In addition, Mexico and Canada could appeal with the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge these measures.
In this scenario, our foreign trade area can provide advice regarding export operations to the United States.
