Mexico Sets End-October Launch for Real-Time Fuel Traceability to Combat Tax Evasion

Nine federal bodies will feed daily data into a single platform to flag contraband by reconciling reported fuel flows.

Overview

  • The system will show in real time who imported fuel, where it was stored, which companies transported it, and the stations where it was sold.
  • Participating agencies will keep their own records but must transmit daily files to an interagency group that unifies data to calculate actual volumes.
  • Every tanker truck will be required to carry a SENER-authorized QR code that specifies the origin and destination of its load.
  • Maritime customs have tightened manifest reviews with laboratory verification after an irregular fuel vessel was detected in Tamaulipas.
  • Officials confirmed 16,000 million pesos in contraband cases are already in court, while a 600,000 million peso loss estimate remains unverified until the database is reconciled.
