Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum recently imposed new tariffs on apparel imports, complicating logistics for U.S. e-commerce retailers. A December 19 decree introduced tariffs of 15% or 35% on specific clothing categories and excluded many items from the IMMEX program, which allows duty-free imports for manufacturing. This has created challenges for third-party logistics providers as brands scramble to adapt. Officials claim the measures aim to protect Mexico’s textile industry from unfair competition, citing the abuse of trade rules by some companies.
