Mexico: Mexico Announces Changes to its Milk Powder Import Procedures

On September 28, 2020, Mexico notified the World Trade Organization (WTO), via symbol G/TBT/N/MEX/477, changes to import procedures for milk powder products listed under Harmonized System (HS) Codes 0402.10.01 and 0402.21.01 whose importation into Mexico is subject to compliance with “NOM-222-SCFI/SAGARPA-2018, Milk powder or dehydrated milk - Raw material - Specifications, commercial information and test methods”. Notably, the changes would establish a new process for the transmission of information from registered laboratories to the competent Mexican authority before the import is cleared at Customs, causing potential delays. Affected milk powder importers in Mexico and milk powder exporters to Mexico should submit comments regarding G/TBT/N/MEX/477 to the WTO and/or to Mexico’s Directorate General for Norms (DGN) before Thursday, November 26, 2020.
