Mexico Imposes Final Anti-Dumping Quotas on Chinese Footwear

Officials say the measure will level the market for domestic shoemakers.

Overview

  • The Secretaría de Economía published a final resolution setting company-specific charges of $0.54–$22.50 per pair on footwear of Chinese origin priced below a $22.58 reference value.
  • The quotas take effect on September 4, 2025 and will run for an initial five-year term with the option to extend after review.
  • The scope includes boots, sandals, athletic and casual shoes with synthetic or textile uppers and soles under specified TIGIE classifications.
  • Enforcement will be handled by SHCP, ANAM and SAT, and importers can avoid the charges by demonstrating a non‑Chinese origin under applicable rules.
  • The action complements an existing 35% temporary tariff and the recent suspension of IMMEX entries, drawing support from industry groups and caution from analysts about potential retail price increases.
