Seventh Harmonized System Amendment: Updated TIGIE Fractions Mandatory as of December 12
As of December 12, all customs entries must declare the tariff fraction in accordance with the TIGIE updated under the WCO's seventh Harmonized System amendment.
The seventh amendment to the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organization (WCO) entered into force on January 1, 2022. This amendment involved the creation, modification, and elimination of tariff fractions at the international level. Mexico incorporated the corresponding updates to its Tariff Schedule (TIGIE) throughout the year.
As of December 12, all foreign trade transaction entries must use the tariff fraction in accordance with the current TIGIE. Using outdated codes may result in validation errors within the customs system and in the incorrect classification of goods.
Authorizations issued prior to December 12 do not need to be reissued. However, any new entry or modification made on or after that date must reflect the updated tariff classification.
BG recommendations
- Verify that your internal tariff fraction catalog is updated in accordance with the current TIGIE before transmitting any new customs entry.
- Coordinate with your customs broker to review the tariff classifications of your most frequently traded goods and confirm whether they were created, modified, or eliminated by the seventh amendment.
- Review your ERP or trade management systems to ensure that the recorded tariff fractions correspond to active codes in the current TIGIE.
- Confirm whether existing authorizations (IMMEX, quotas, prior permits) require a tariff fraction update with the relevant authority, even if reissuance is not mandatory.
