• New IGI tariffs will extend to 1,463 tariff lines, covering roughly 8.6% of Mexico’s trade and including 10%–50% duties on autoparts.
• The measures target countries without free‑trade agreements with Mexico, naming China, Russia, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and Turkey.
• Hacienda projects nearly 255 billion pesos in 2026 revenue from the IGI as officials argue the policy counters very low‑priced imports and protects manufacturers.
