Overview
- Citing U.S. Census data published Tuesday, Mexico’s exports to the United States reached $54,180 million in May 2026 while Mexican imports from the U.S. were $33,050 million for the month.
- Mexico exported $242,903 million to the U.S. from January to May 2026, a 10.9% year‑on‑year rise, and reached $558,000 million in exports over the 12 months to May, up about 8%.
- Advanced‑technology goods were a major driver, with $77,920 million shipped to the U.S. from January to May, a 42% increase that includes computers, semiconductors and telecom equipment.
- Analysts and officials say T‑MEC preferential access, rising rules‑of‑origin compliance (about 85% in May) and a low average tariff exposure (roughly 3.65%) have preserved Mexico’s competitiveness despite higher U.S. tariffs.
- The jump in Mexican exports has widened the U.S. goods deficit with Mexico and strengthened North American supply chains, and Mexican officials plan ministerial talks and T‑MEC review rounds to manage the commercial and political uncertainty.
