Overview
- Senators passed the package in a fast‑track vote, 76–5 with 35 abstentions, and sent the decree to the president for promulgation.
- New duties of roughly 5% to 50% cover 1,463 tariff lines across 17 sectors including automotive parts, textiles, plastics, steel, electronics, footwear and furniture.
- The measure is estimated to affect about $52 billion in imports, or roughly 8.6% of Mexico’s foreign purchases.
- The tariffs apply to goods from countries without Mexican free‑trade agreements, notably China, South Korea and India; China condemned the move as unilateral protectionism and said it will monitor impacts.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the policy is not aimed at China and is part of Plan México, while the decree empowers the Economy Ministry to deploy import mechanisms to avoid shortages as opposition and industry warn of higher costs and supply‑chain risks.
