Foreign Trade Implications Arising from Mergers and Acquisitions

In the context of the joint review of the USMCA scheduled for July 2026, both the United States and Mexico have initiated formal public consultation processes to gather comments and recommendations on the operation and future of the treaty. These consultations are essential to define the review agenda and the possible extension of the agreement for an additional 16 years.

On December 19, 2024, through a Decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), the temporary importation of certain goods from the textile and apparel sector was prohibited. This measure had a significant negative impact on companies in the industry, which were forced to suspend operations and make adjustments to their supply chains due to the lack of access to critical inputs.

Today, December 19, 2024, President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a decree, pending publication in the Diario Oficial de la Federación, by which the temporary importation, under IMMEX programs, of certain manufactured goods and textiles is limited.
