We can avoid up to 90% of the fees in Mexican exports

As a result of US President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend the imports from Mexico closed by the USMCA free trade agreement, the US is subject to 85% to 90% of the exported Mexican products exported to the United States.

It was an assessment made by Economic Minister Marcello Ebrard on Friday at a press conference of President Claudia Shinbam.

After a Call with Shinbom Thursday, Trump announced He acknowledged that there was no need to pay for any of the USMCA contract until April 2.

The United States imposed 25% fees for all imports from Mexico Since most of the imported White House from Canada on Tuesday said the two countries failed to prevent the flow of “dangerous drugs” such as Fendaniel to the United States

Study A White House True Paper Published on Thursday, “The duties destined to address the flow of illegal drugs across our borders are now:

• The US-MEXICO-Canada Agreement (USMCA) 25% fees for goods that do not meet the origin of origin.
• The less 10% fee for those energy products imported from Canada coming out of the USMCA option.
• The low 10% fee of any potasso imported from Canada and Mexico coming out of the USMCA option.
• There are no fees for those goods from Canada and Mexico, who are eligible for the USMCA will.

Hebreard says most trades will occur under USMCA

Ebrard explained that some companies in Mexico would not export goods to the United States under the USMCA regulations, but rather “Resort” “The most favorite country” position.

They do so because in accordance with the rules of the USMCA, “this is more expensive”, especially rather than submitting their goods to the most sought -after national fees.

Ebert said that under the USMCA rules, more than half of our trade “in general” “in general”.

However, he stressed that “the most important number of” companies “can accommodate the North American Free Trade Agreement and avoid fees until April 2, in companies that have chosen to export goods to the United States according to the most preferred nation than under the USMCA.

“We estimate that (exported products exported under USCA) will increase 90% of the US from Mexico to 85% (first) in foreign trade,” said Ebrard.

He estimated that about 10-12% of exporters in Mexico, mainly in nearby industries in the automotive sector, cannot comply with the USMCA rules so that they will face 25% of the fees in export to the United States.

“We have to work with them … (in the next three weeks),” Ebraht said.

‘What’s going to happen in April?’

Ebrart, referring to the end of the payment suspension agreement, raised the question during his comments to Shinbam’s press conference on Friday.

The Economic Minister noted it The US wants to impose mutual fees for its trading partners from April 2.

In early April, Mexico will find out what charges will be charged for imports from its southern neighbors and “from all the countries of the world”.

This month, Ebert said “Mexican’s arguments would negotiate and present” Mexico’s arguments to avoid charging fees on Mexican products next month. “

Shinbam urged Thursday A “mutual relationship” with the United States is “they will not charge us” as Mexico does not impose fees for importing from the US.

In that context, he expressed confidence that the US would not be charged fees on imports from other countries next month.

President, Hebreard and other Mexican officials have repeatedly urged that there will be fees on Mexican goods United States is a bad impact on the economy and increase prices for US consumer.

Sheinbam said on Tuesday that Mexico did not want to enter the “economic or trade conflict” with the US, and said that such a situation was “against” the North American region. “

The countries of North America should “further integrate our economies to strengthen our region and further coordinate our economies in the face of the economic and trade progress of other regions.”

‘We have to reach the contract on steel and aluminum’

Ebraht noted that the United States still wants to impose 25% of the imports of steel and aluminum from Mexico on March 12.

The Economic Minister said that Trump’s suspension of fees on USMCA -launched imports would apply to steel and aluminum. He pointed out that there was no answer.

“We have to reach an agreement on steel and aluminum,” Ebrard said that the US has a surplus with Mexico on the trade of those metals.

He said that Mexico was negotiating with the United States on the issue, because “(Mexican) is not justified for a fee on aluminum and steel.”

Hebrert said last month The fees on Mexican steel and aluminum are unreasonable and the trade of metal and the coordination of the US, Mexican and Canadian economies is a “bad idea” due to the US surplus with Mexico.
