Mexico Delays Customs Law Debate to Next Week as Finance Committee Begins Review

A senior Morena lawmaker is linking the reform to a push for a specialized FGR unit targeting fiscal fuel theft.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies’ Jucopo postponed the full-chamber discussion of the customs-law reform until next week after leaders rejected a fast-track vote.
  • The Finance Committee is set to open its analysis of the draft on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
  • Morena vicecoordinator Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar said he will vote in favor, citing the need to curb fiscal fuel theft, manipulated temporary imports, and sugar-related fraud.
  • Ramírez Cuéllar said he will formally ask FGR chief Alejandro Gertz Manero to create a special commission to prosecute huachicol fiscal and false invoicing.
  • Proponents say the reform would tighten customs controls to counter contraband, subvaluation, and simulated operations, aiming to protect revenue and fair competition.
