Mexico's import duty structure for Chinese goods is primarily governed by the Law of General Import and Export Taxes (LIGIE). As China lacks a preferential trade agreement with Mexico, most goods are subject to Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) tariff rates. This regime is designed to protect local industries, particularly through the use of compensatory duties and strict customs valuation procedures for manufactured goods.
