Key Points of the Reform

The dynamism of international markets demands that Mexican exporters pay special attention to three critical areas:

  • Rules of Origin: Adjustments to the percentages of regional content value.
  • Rapid Response Mechanisms: Increased monitoring of the rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
  • Sustainability Standards: New requirements regarding the carbon footprint of the supply chain.

Conclusion and Strategy

Given this scenario, at Trade Remedies Mexico we emphasize the importance of conducting preventative audits and trade compliance assessments. It’s not just about avoiding penalties, but about transforming regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage against global players.

“Legal prevention is the foundation of solid growth in foreign trade.”
