Mexico announces new automatic export notice requirements
Date of Publication: June 6, 2025
On June 3, 2025, the Mexican government published a decree in the Official Journal of the Federation, establishing new requirements for submitting automatic export notices for certain goods. This decree, which will come into effect on July 7, 2025, aims to streamline and regulate the export process for various tariff classifications. The ministry has stated the change is needed to generate and analyze data on export flows to Mexican trading partners as a result of the ongoing shift of global trade from a model based on comparative advantages to one based on strategic advantages.
Key points of the decree
Affected goods
The decree specifies that goods classified under 30 different Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) headings will be subject to the automatic export notice requirement. These include products such as malt beer, tequila, raw gold, engine parts, catalytic converters, laptops, telecommunications equipment, refrigerators, fiber optic cables, medical instruments, and automatic control instruments.
Procedure
- Submission: Exporters must submit an automatic export notice request for each export customs declaration (pedimento). This request must include a free-form letter in accordance with Rule 1.3.5 of the Foreign Trade Rules, and an Excel spreadsheet, which will be made available by the Ministry of Economy. A link to the Excel spreadsheet template can be found here.
- Email Submission: The request must be sent via email to aviso.exportacion@economia.gob.mx. The automatic notification requests can be submitted starting June 30, 2025.
- Response Time: The General Directorate of Trade Facilitation and Foreign Trade (DGFCCE) of the Ministry of Economy will have up to 10 business days to respond and issue the automatic export notice. There is the possibility of additional documentation being requested from the exporter to validate the information in the request.
Additional guidance can be found here.
Scope
The regulation applies to all exported goods as identified in the Decree, without distinguishing between permanent or temporary exports. It also includes returns from Industria Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de Servicios de Exportación (IMMEX) companies, including virtual operations.
Implications for exporters
Exporters must carefully review the format published by the Ministry of Economy and ensure that all required information is accurately presented. This new requirement is designed to enhance the transparency and efficiency of the export process, but it also imposes additional administrative responsibilities on exporters.
The permits will not exempt shipments from compliance with other regulations and requirements applicable to the export of goods.
Conclusion
The introduction of the automatic export notice requirement marks a significant change in Mexico's export regulations. Exporters should familiarize themselves with the new procedures and ensure compliance to avoid delays and potential penalties. For more detailed information, exporters can refer to the official decree published in the Federal Official Gazette.
