Mexico - Electronic reporting of customs information 

January 30:   Among the changes to Mexico’s foreign trade rules are provisions allowing for electronic filing of information concerning foreign trade and customs transactions.

The sixth resolution of modifications to the general rules on foreign trade, published in the official gazette (Diario Oficial de la Federacion) on January 13, 2012, provides for trade-related reporting to be completed through the Mexican foreign trade digital “window”.


Beginning January 16, 2012, importers and exporters may opt to use the electronic reporting system. The use of this electronic system is mandatory beginning March 1, 2012. Customs information to be reported includes the value of the foreign trade merchandise, the date and place of issuance of the customs documentation, the name and address of the merchandise recipient and vendor, the taxpayer identification number of the issuer of the voucher, the document’s identification number, and a detailed commercial description of the merchandise.
