A new customs framework for a transparent trade system

Mexico begins one of the most profound customs reforms in recent years. The goal is clear: to strengthen trade security, digitize processes, and enhance traceability in import and export operations. This transformation, already approved by the Senate, redefines the relationship between the government, companies, and logistics operators.

Technology and control at the heart of the reform

The new regulation establishes a system of total electronic control and a policy of zero tolerance for irregularities. From 2025, all operations must be registered digitally, with real-time monitoring and automated data validation.
This change not only modernizes border management but also creates a more reliable environment for international trade.

The National Customs Council

One of the key elements of the reform is the creation of the National Customs Council, an entity responsible for supervising licenses, audits, and certifications. This body, coordinated by the Ministry of Finance and the Secretariat for Public Administration, will unify oversight and reduce discretion in processes.

Logistics zones under tighter surveillance

Fiscalized zones and strategic logistics facilities must implement certified digital platforms to ensure traceability, eliminate fake operations, and strengthen tax collection.

Higher penalties and greater responsibilities

The reform tightens sanctions: companies that fail to meet technical requirements or lack proper documentation will face higher fines, temporary suspension, or permanent loss of licenses.
This stricter framework aims to fight evasion but will also demand significant technological adaptation.

Logistics impact and the 4PL vision

While many sectors express concern about compliance costs, customs digitalization also opens new opportunities.
At 4PL Logistics,, we view this transition as an opportunity to achieve greater efficiency, visibility, and operational control.
Our integrated customs management, automated documentation, and predictive logistics monitoring services allow companies to adapt to the new regulatory environment without compromising competitiveness.

New tariffs and route reconfiguration

The update of tariffs on more than 1,300 products imported from countries without trade agreements, mainly from Asia, is transforming trade routes.
Companies will need to redesign their logistics, review suppliers, and optimize inventory to maintain profitability.

A future with greater control and smarter logistics

The trend is irreversible: international trade is moving toward greater traceability, stronger oversight, and data-driven logistics.
4PL Logistics, supports companies in this process, integrating technology, compliance, and operational strategy to ensure safer and more efficient supply chains.
