06 Jun The Ministry of Economy enforces Tequila, among other products to the Automatic Notice of Exportation.
On June 3rd, 2025, the Ministry of Economy published in the Federal Official Gazette the “Agreement that subjects the goods indicated to the automatic notice of exportation”, which imposes new administrative obligations on exporters of various products, resulting an immediate impact for Mexican exporters of Tequila, malt beer, screens, laptops, among others (hereinafter the “Agreement”).
This measure has direct implications for the Tequila industry, particularly for companies that export to the United States, Europe and Asia, key markets for this Mexican emblematic product.
From the entry into force of the agreement, any export of Tequila must have an automatic notice of exportation issued by the General Directorate of Commercial and Foreign Trade Facilitation (“DGFCCE” from its acronym in Spanish). This should be done prior to export, by sending a writ and Excel format by email. The DGFCCE will have 10 business days to issue said notice and the authority may require additional or supporting information.
It is important to mention that, in accordance with the Office Letter served by the DGFCCE, the entry into force of the agreement will be extended until July 7th, 2025, and therefore, only the applications submitted after June 30th, 2025, will be taken into consideration.
We must emphasize that this new obligation does not replace other regulations for exporting Tequila. Therefore, if it is not managed with due anticipation, obtaining the automatic notice of exportation could affect the timely delivery of international shipments which may impact companies’ logistics by placing additional administrative burden.
It is important to note that to date, no exceptions to compliance have been established; however, we will be monitoring this new provision.
