Mexico Removes Express-Resolution Requirement for Many Foreign-Trade Notices

The change lets numerous filings made through the Ventanilla Única (VUCEM) be self-managed to speed trade procedures and advance digital regulatory reform.

Overview

  • The Secretaría de Economía, the SAT and the Agencia Nacional de Aduanas, with technical support from the national digital-simplification authority, eliminated the formal dictaminación for a wide set of foreign-trade “avisos,” which will now be treated as autogestivos in VUCEM.
  • Under the new rule, users can submit covered notices without waiting for an express resolution, which shortens administrative delays and shifts government oversight toward post‑filing verification and data-driven checks.
  • Authorities expressly excluded certain notices from the change, including automatic import notices for steel products, automatic export notices for fresh tomatoes, specific automatic import notices for raffle machines in their security‑inspection modality, and some IMMEX and PROSEC domicile‑modification filings; those items await technical system updates and separate procedural guidance.
  • The government stressed that dropping the express-resolution requirement does not relieve firms of legal duties, and the SE, SAT and ANAM retain powers to inspect, verify, control and impose administrative sanctions where rules are breached.
  • The measure forms part of a broader regulatory simplification and digitalization effort aimed at improving user experience and investment climate, and businesses should watch for forthcoming technical instructions and timelines from official channels.
