In 2017, in order to achieve a greater and better identification of foreign trade goods, Mexico, like 153 other contracting parties to the International Convention on the Harmonized System, must implement the updates of the Sixth Amendment to its framework. legal.
Among the changes included in the Sixth Amendment to the Harmonized System are:
Fisheries and fishery products.- Changes are included to improve the coverage of species and the forms of the products that need to be monitored for reasons of food security and better management of resources. These changes include a breakdown by product type for crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates such as squid.
Forest products.- The changes seek to improve the coverage of wood species to learn more about the trade patterns that include endangered species. In particular, information on trade in tropical forests is separated. Similarly, new subheadings are created for the monitoring and control of certain bamboo and rattan products.
Anti-malaria products.- A modification looks for detailed information for various categories of products that are used as anti-malaria products.
Chemicals.- New subheadings are created for specific chemicals controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention, certain dangerous chemicals controlled under the Rotterdam Convention and certain persistent organic pollutants controlled under the Stockholm Convention. New subheadings are also created for the monitoring and control of pharmaceutical preparations containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or norephedrine and for alpha-Phenylacetoacetonitrile, a drug precursor.
Other changes.- Headings 6907 (Plates and tiles, ceramic, unvarnished or glazed) and 6908 (Plates and tiles, ceramic, varnished or enameled) were merged because the main subheadings within these headings refer to products that are no longer produced and on which industry and commerce make no distinction. New products with a large volume of trade are classified under subheadings 6907.90 and 6908.90
Advances in technology are reflected in changes to newsprint, light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, multi-component integrated circuits (MCOs), and hybrid and electric vehicles.
The changes include the clarification of texts that allow the uniform application of the nomenclature. For example, monopods, bipods, tripods and the like are regrouped under the new heading 9620.
This Amendment includes a total of 442 changes
At MDI we suggest being aware of this update to have a correct classification of your products and thus avoid fines or not using a preference
