Overview
- The government published the resolution that derogated Annex 4 on September 14, 2026, and the change took effect on September 15, 2026, so units imported after that date are no longer subject to the automatic permit tied to Annex 4 prices.
- The automatic permit had been triggered when an item’s unit price was below the estimated price list set in Annex 4, and with Annex 4 removed that price condition no longer applies to textile and clothing declarations.
- Operations begun before the change that use consolidated pedimentos must follow the obligations in force on the date of the first remesa under Articles 37 and 37-A of the Ley Aduanera, and importers must declare the exchange rate for the pedimento’s closure date when presenting the pedimento.
- SE and ANAM issued joint clarifications explaining how to apply Article 56 of the Ley Aduanera to determine which rules govern each operation and stressed that other non‑tariff regulations and restrictions still apply.
- Authorities said enforcement will shift from an Annex 4 price list to targeted checks such as risk management, customs valuation reviews and post‑import audits, an approach that could speed routine imports but increase selective inspections and later fiscal reviews for suspicious entries.
