Overview
- The new call under Resolution 377/2025 splits the quota evenly between automakers with local plants and companies without local production, with reassignment allowed if units go unused.
- Vehicles approved under the regime may enter the country through January 31, 2027, and a sub-call will reallocate unused 2025 slots with redistribution to conclude by January 31, 2026.
- Applications must be filed through the Trámites a Distancia platform, with media reporting conflicting cutoff dates of October 13 versus October 16, 2025.
- Selection will prioritize the lowest retail price in U.S. dollars and the closest feasible nationalization date, according to the published criteria.
- Outlets report an FOB cap of up to US$16,000 and cite proposed participating models such as BYD, Chevrolet, Chery, Fiat, and Geely, though applicants should consult the official resolution and platform for definitive terms.
