Mexico'S Presidential Office Introduces Policies And Measures To Promote Production

The decree states that in the 2013-2018 national development plan, a number of national objectives have been formulated. The objectives of "prosperous Mexico" and "global responsibility Mexico" are aimed at ensuring clear rules, encouraging the internal market to be competitive and continuous development, promoting sustained growth in productivity, strengthening the design of economic development and modernization policy, focusing on strategic sector innovation, and consolidating the responsibilities of free trade, capital flow and production integration.

The "2013-2018 year innovation and development plan" pointed out that the industrial strategy and guideline to promote mature industrial production, especially textiles and clothing, which will have a significant impact on regional development and employment, will be implemented. By supporting technology and innovation, we can effectively increase productivity, reduce production, improve logistics efficiency, and increase the expertise, skills and competitiveness of human resources.

In summary, productivity is of great significance to industry, and helps to promote enterprise pformation, promote value chain integration, accelerate industrial upgrading and integrate into the international market.

The law points out that at present, many sectors of the national economy are subject to varying degrees of internal market shocks caused by harmful trade practices, mainly due to the fact that

In the customs declaration documents, the duty paid price is lower than its actual price, sometimes it is seriously undervalued or even lower than the price of raw materials.

The reason for this phenomenon is mainly through the third party's virtual development of votes, changing or forgery of commercial documents.

The decree points out that it is imminent to establish a framework for preventing and combating undervalued behavior, because such behavior will not only reduce the tax base of general import duties, thereby affecting financial revenue, but also affect the development of national industry, resulting in an increase in unemployment rate, a decrease in investment level and a pressure on the growth of informal economy.

The decree specifically mentioned that in December 24, 2008, the federal official daily issued a revision of the tariff schedule for general import and export goods, which stipulated a progressive tariff reduction scheme applicable to multiple sectors of the economy, including textiles and garments. After that, the Ministry of economic affairs of Mexico amended its contents in December 31, 2012 and December 26, 2013 and August 29, 2014 respectively.

According to the revised content, the last round of tax reduction should be implemented from January 1, 2015.

However, this act considers that it is necessary to postpone the tariff reduction process in order to consolidate and enhance the effectiveness of measures in the textile and clothing sector.

Accordingly, the decree issues the terms of the resolution as follows:
