When Maquilas and PITEX programs were initially created in Mexico, each one had a different purpose with separate and distinct regulations. At the same time, both programs received administrative, accounting and customs benefits. They were an important part of the Mexican economy and represented more than 80% of the total manufacturing for Mexican exports.
However, due to the duty deferral and drawback restrictions imposed under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Maquilas and PITEX would no longer continue receiving the same benefits. Consequently, the Mexican government dismantled them and in their place created a new program known as IMMEX (Manufacturing, Maquiladora and Export Services Industry) that represented a new opportunity for the trade community.
IMMEX continues to be an excellent way to invest and do business in Mexico. Do not miss this unique opportunity to hear about all the benefits offered by this program presented by Mexican attorneys that specialize in customs and trade law.
