Overview

• The steel, textile, apparel, footwear and sugar chambers (Canacero, Canaintex, Canaive, CICEG, CNIAA) issued a joint statement fully supporting the reform in the 2026 fiscal package proposed by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
• The groups called on the Congress of the Union to pass the bill, arguing it equips customs with stronger tools to curb evasion, contraband and simulated exports and to ensure fair competition.
• Expansión reported that the Chamber of Deputies’ Finance Committee has approved a draft opinion that advances the initiative in the legislative process.
• The statement asks lawmakers to keep sensitive sectors excluded from Strategic Bonded Facilities (Recintos Fiscalizados Estratégicos) to shield domestic producers from unfair competition.
• To justify their stance, the chambers cited sector data, including 2.4 million formal jobs linked to sugarcane, steel’s 1.4% share of national GDP, a footwear import surge versus exports, and more than 1.1 million jobs and $9 billion in exports in textiles and apparel.
