Mexico imposes retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods in response to suspension of NAFTA trucking program

June 2009
Overview

The Mexican government recently imposed import tariffs on $2.4 billion of U.S. goods after the United States suspended a program allowing Mexican trucks to deliver goods across the border. When the U.S. closed the southern border to Mexican trucking in March, Mexico promised to retaliate. Mexico has released a list of 89 U.S. products that will face tariffs of 10 percent to 45 percent.

Mexico: Tariffs Placed on U.S. Goods
By BLOOMBERG NEWSMARCH 16, 2009

Mexico placed tariffs on about 90 American products after the United States restricted Mexican trucking, said the country’s economic minister, Gerardo Ruiz Mateos. The measure was taken “for the incompliance of the country in its agreements regarding transport under the North American Free Trade Agreement,” Mr. Ruiz, left, said. “That is what is commonly known as measures of retaliation.” Mr. Ruiz said the tariffs would be imposed on items representing $2.4 billion in trade, but did not name the products.
