Mexico City.- The 90-day extension for additional tariffs to Mexico was well received by cargo agents, but still have doubts about non-tariff barriers to the country to which President Trump referred to.
The president of the Mexican Association of Cargo Agents (Amacarga), Eva María Muñoz, said there is still damage through the 25% tariff for certain sectors and products that are not within the TMEC, as well as for steel, aluminum and the Mexican automotive sector.
“The best thing we can do is maintain prudence and continue working as until now, since a true brake on commercial flows between the two countries has not been seen,” he said according to a statement from the agency.
When announcing the 90 -day pause, Trump added Mexico had agreed to reduce its non -tariff barriers.
He pointed out that the Government of Mexico has been prudent and that it maintained at all times the cold head so as not to take precipitated reactions, which allowed to have a differential treatment with respect to other countries and maintain the expectation of a new commercial agreement within the TMEC.
“Since the first threats of the Trump administration emerged, there was confusion and a lot of nervousness, but those of us who participate in foreign trade never distracted and always looking for alternatives to continue doing ours, supporting import and export,” he said.

“The result of the 90 -day extension is good and we recognize it, but we should not distract ourselves and stay to celebrate. Load agents will continue looking for the best logistics, costs, routes and means of transport alternatives for our importing and exporters clients and that we will focus our effort,” he added.
