Overview

On November 14th, 2022, the Mexican Secretary of Economy published the implementation strategy for the newly published HST Code Classification that will influence late 2022 and 2023 certificate HS Code declaration and importation processes.

Current Certificates

Current certificates and other permits for importation will remain valid until their expiration date, provided they are registered in the SAT system. There is no need to update anything with the new HS Code.

Recommended Actions

We highly recommend reviewing your importation strategy for any products currently in process. Ensure they are uploaded in the Customs system; otherwise, you may be impacted by this change. For Safety NOMs, the last day to present requests to SAT with the old HS Codes is December 4th, at 11:00 AM, and for Commercial Information NOMs (labeling in national territory), it is December 2nd, at 18:00 PM (other commercial areas will also be affected).

Further Inquiries

If you would like to know whether the HS Code you usually use will be affected or if your current mandatory certificates were uploaded by the CB to the SAT system, please contact info@orbiscompliance.com - mailto:info@orbiscompliance.com or (408) 465-7331.
