Immediate implications for Foreign Trade

The cancellation of an IMMEX Program may have significant effects on foreign trade operations, particularly for companies that rely on temporary imports of raw materials, parts, components, machinery or equipment.

The main implications include:

• Inability to continue carrying out temporary imports under the IMMEX Program.
• Need to review the treatment of temporarily imported inventories.
• Risk of non-compliance related to authorized periods of stay, returns, changes of customs regime or regularization of goods.
• Potential impact on certifications, authorizations, importers’ registries, virtual operations and tax benefits linked to the program.
• Need to evaluate operational alternatives for future imports.

Conclusions

The Notice confirms the importance of maintaining preventive control over the formal and tax obligations related to IMMEX Programs. The filing of the annual report and compliance with the requirements set forth in Article 11, section III of the IMMEX Decree should not be reviewed only at the deadline, but periodically throughout the year.

For IMMEX Programs canceled due to failure to file the annual report or due to non-compliance with the requirements set forth in Article 11, section III of the IMMEX Decree, no express five-year restriction is identified for requesting a new program. Such limitation applies to specific cancellation grounds provided under Article 27 of the IMMEX Decree. However, before submitting a new application, the company must regularize the cause that gave rise to the cancellation and address the treatment of the goods temporarily imported under the canceled program.
