Overview
- SENASICA began reinforcing inspections for the World Cup on June 11 and is running an active operation across 97 airports, seaports and border crossings to manage the expected visitor surge between June 11 and July 19.
- The agency has deployed more than 1,000 specialists working year‑round and expanded canine inspection teams to 99 dogs with 77 handlers operating in 20 states.
- Authorities published a prohibited‑items list and a multilingual microsite that tells travelers not to bring grains, seeds, fresh meat, pork from African Swine Fever areas, fresh cheeses, prepared sandwiches and animal‑use drugs.
- Canine units and inspectors are concentrated at high‑flow points such as Mexico City’s AICM (23 dog teams), Felipe Ángeles (3 teams) and Quintana Roo ports and airports (11 teams) to speed screening and reduce the chance that pests like Mediterranean fruit fly or Khapra beetle enter the country.
- The effort builds on large 2025 enforcement work—hundreds of thousands of flights and vehicles screened and more than 215 tonnes of agro‑products seized—and aims to protect small and medium producers and national food security while minimizing traveler delays.
