Mexico Escalates Fuel-Contraband Crackdown With 102 Cases, U.S. Data Pact and End-October Traceability

Officials describe the enforcement push as the backbone of higher customs revenue, supporting Pemex’s path to 2027 stability.

Overview

  • SHCP told senators it has filed 102 criminal complaints with the FGR over contraband hydrocarbons totaling about 16 billion pesos, asserting there will be no impunity.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said port surveillance is being upgraded with more cameras and a modernized monitoring center in Querétaro, with full fuel traceability slated by the end of October.
  • Mexico and the United States agreed to exchange information on gasoline exports to identify illegal fuel flows and tax-evasion schemes tied to misreported cargo.
  • Hacienda reported roughly 22% real growth in foreign-trade tax intake this year and projected 2025 customs collections around 1.3–1.4 trillion pesos, crediting tougher enforcement and upgraded systems.
  • The fiscal package targets a 0.2% primary surplus, a 4.3% deficit and debt near 52.3% of GDP in 2025, alongside a Pemex rescue plan officials say positions the company for financial stability by 2027.
