Mexico Strengthens Supervision On Quotation Of Chinese Shoes And Other Imported Products

December 11, 2011 is the date to end the import quotas for Chinese products, such as footwear, clothing, textiles, bicycles, toys, steel and other 10 kinds of tools. The government of Mexico has intensified supervision over illegal importers through the SAT and PGR, and issued warrants for issuing illegal orders to illegal importers. There are 400 marine tax categories in the monitoring list of the new import control system. The import control system is specifically designed for these purposes. Illegal import The product was enacted and came into force on December 15th.

SAT and PGR raise the highest alert.

Once China's series of imported products get rid of them compensate The quota and tariff system, supported by the National Chamber of Commerce (CONCAMIN), has been increasing efforts to engage in footwear, clothing and textiles, bicycles and toys to protect employment and production in one way or another. Because that means Mexico can only import 35% of the import tax according to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

In fact, there are only two basic elements for Chinese goods to enter the Mexico market illegally. channel 。 The first is to flagrantly pass the products across the United States to avoid customs control, which is only applicable to small quantities of products imported. The two is to reduce the declared price of goods to below the price of raw materials needed for production.

In this regard, business tycoons have plenty of information to prove that reducing the damage caused by quotations or illegal imports to local production will become more serious after December 11th.

"Armando has been imported from all over the world in the past four years (2008 -2011 year). Due to the cancellation of the tariff mechanism previously controlled by this strategy, it is estimated that about 45% of the imported shoes will be declared too low," said Armando Mart n Due Due as, chairman of CICEG, the industrial Footwear Association of Hong Kong.

The chairman of the national textile tool chamber of Commerce (CANAINTEX), Rodolfo Garc a-Muriel a-Muriel Mart Nez, stressed: "today, about 70% of the import and distribution prices are not enough to compensate for the cost of international raw materials. Therefore, reversing this situation is extremely urgent, so as to avoid the unfair competition in China's industry."

What measures will the Mexico government take to control illegal imports of Chinese imports?

The new strategy is a technology platform that helps automatically detect imported goods that declare the prices below the raw materials needed for production. This information is provided by the commercial institutions mentioned above. The information is evaluated in real time to determine whether to lift import restrictions or to issue warnings and to conduct public investigations under the cooperation of SAT and PGR.

The agreements signed by government agencies and commercial institutions include the following measures:

1) when importers declare customs customs value through forged documents, they will conduct a review.

2) the new system will send an alarm to the customs officers to inform Mexico of trying to enter the domestic product information through the raw material price below the production cost.

3) PGR will make criminal proceedings against importers who conduct such illegal operations and hand over the illegal importers to the relevant parts.
