Leon/Gto News
Following the updates provided by CICEG on April 23, a modification to Annex 29 of the General Rules of Foreign Trade for 2026 was published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Federation. This amendment officially excludes finished footwear from temporary import, bonded warehouse, and strategic bonded zone regimes.
CICEG informed in a press release that while this determination had been previously disclosed on the SAT (Tax Administration Service) website since April 23, 2026, the official publication in the Official Gazette grants the measure full formality and legal certainty.
Strengthening Customs Control
This action represents a significant milestone in strengthening customs control mechanisms. It aims to mitigate practices that have severely impacted the domestic industry.
Some of the practices that are prevented:
- Hard-on smuggling (contrabando bronco)
- Technical smuggling
- Undervaluation
- Tax evasion schemes
These illicit activities had seen an intensified growth over recent months, destabilizing the market.
Institutional Collaboration
The Chamber of the Footwear Industry (CICEG) expressed its recognition and gratitude toward the Secretary of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP).
The Chamber also highlighted the coordination between Federal, State, and Municipal Authorities in addressing a critical issue that was heavily impacting the national production capacity and thousands of jobs linked to the footwear sector.
