Mexico City – The Chamber of Deputies approved the reform to
the Customs Law this Thursday, and the document was immediately sent to the
Federal Executive Branch for promulgation, following adjustments previously
made by the Senate.
The main change introduced by the co-legislator modifies the
decree's effective date, which will now begin to apply on January 1, 2026,
instead of the day after its publication, as originally planned. This measure
seeks to give companies, authorities, and taxpayers more time to adapt to the
new legal provisions and ensure a more orderly implementation.
The President of the Board of Directors, Kenia López
Rabadán, indicated that the debate in the Chamber of Deputies focused
exclusively on the amendment to the first transitory article, and that the rest
of the decree's content was approved without significant changes or
controversy.
With the approval of this reform, customs authorities are
expected to have a clearer and more up-to-date regulatory framework that will
facilitate international trade and strengthen security and efficiency in the
import and export of goods. The measure also seeks to harmonize implementation
times for domestic and foreign companies, avoiding legal conflicts or delays in
complying with customs obligations.
The document will now be promulgated by the Federal
Executive Branch, after which it will be officially published in the Official
Gazette of the Federation, beginning the formal process that will mark its
entry into force on the first day of 2026.
