On Friday, November 14, during our webinar “Automotive Talks on USMCA: Navigating Trade & Compliance in North America”, Agustin Izquierdo will provide a clear read on how SAT’s risk-based audits are evolving and what that means for importers, exporters, and IMMEX companies operating across North America.
We’ll explore:
-How audits are targeting underpaid duties, data inconsistencies, and documentation gaps, especially in virtual transfers;
-What to expect in 2026 with the Electronic Value Manifest, Customs Law reform, and higher fines;
-Why stronger fiscal control ties to broader policy priorities and what it means for operations.
As Mexico moves toward the 2026 USMCA review, the Tax Administration Service (SAT) is reinforcing its audit strategies to increase fiscal control and strengthen oversight of foreign trade operations reflecting broader government priorities such as combating fuel contraband, financing expanding social programs, and addressing the growing fiscal pressure of large infrastructure projects.
In an increasingly data-driven environment, maintaining robust electronic records, conducting regular internal reviews, and strengthening coordination with customs brokers are essential steps for companies seeking to stay compliant and minimize risk exposure.
Join us for a forward-looking discussion on how Mexico’s enforcement landscape is evolving and how organizations can turn compliance into a strategic advantage.
