On January 13, 2025, official notice number 400.2025.001 (the “Notice”), was published on the electronic portal of the National Foreign Trade Information Service (“SNICE”). This document disclosed the requirements for companies participating in the IMMEX Program to be exempted from the restriction on the temporary importation of textile goods classified under Chapters 61, 62, and 63, as well as subheadings 9404.40 and 9404.90, as established in the Decree dated December 19, 2024.
In this regard, during the six months following the publication of the Notice, interested companies must submit, either in person or via email, a free-form written request attaching the documents that demonstrate the following:
- That they are registered under the Company Certification Scheme issued by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) without being suspended or subject to a cancellation procedure.
- That they have granted the authority access to the automated inventory control system, as stipulated in Annex 24, Section C, of the General Foreign Trade Rules for 2025 issued by the Tax Administration Service.
It should be noted that interested companies may only import goods under the provisions of this communication if such goods are classified under tariff items that were already imported during the previous calendar year. No authorization will be granted for new tariff items that have not been subject to prior operations.
If the application fails to meet any of the requirements, the Secretary of Economy will issue a single request for additional information or clarification. Failure to respond or providing an incomplete response will result in the dismissal of the application, with no opportunity to submit a subsequent request.
The Secretary of Economy will issue a resolution within a maximum period of 15 business days from the business day following the date on which the application file is deemed complete.
