Recently, a meeting was held between index and AGACE, during which the authority expressed its concern that asignificant number of companies certified under the VAT & IEPS Certification still maintain HTS Codes that are not linked to their productive processes. As a result, the authority considers that goods not directly associated with aproductive process should not be imported under the certification.

Additionally, it was informed that in the short term, the authority will begin issuing requirements for companies toregularize this situation, which could result in compliance risks for those companies whose tariff classifications are not properly aligned with their actual productive operations.

Given this scenario, it is essential for companies to:

• Review the HTS Codes currently authorized under their Certification. 
• Verify their proper linkage to productive processes. 
• Submit, as applicable, Notices for the addition or update of HTS Codes and productive processes.
