Exports of equipment, tools, articles and electronic materials and basic supplies and Mexican auto parts to the United States are arrested due to the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, revealed Juan Pablo Pacheco, president of the Mexican Association of Cargo Agents (Amacarga).
“There are saturated sectors in import and export operations with the United States and others are practically paralyzed,” said the businessman.
The manager said that since the threats of imposition of tariffs to Mexico began by the United States, the foreign trade market has been affected its normal rhythm and mixed behaviors are recorded.
“What most attracts attention is that the movement of equipment, tools, articles and electronic materials and basic supplies and automotive automotive industry, practically stopped,” he said.
Pacheco added that certain orders are made expressly to take advantage of the pause granted by Trump to April 2 without the probable application of tariffs, while said that others get to postpone up to three months as long as it defines what will really happen after that date.
The businessman stressed that when making an evaluation of the current scenarios, food producers, raw materials, machinery, perishable and personal paper and hygiene products accelerated their import and export movement in recent days.
“Many companies in the United States and here in Mexico have taken advantage of the postponement of tariffs to raise their inventories to the top and generate enough stocks to face the coming months without a tax impact,” he explained.
This situation, he said, has forced many importing and export companies to take refuge even more in the professional and technological support of loading agents to analyze and study the erratic market behaviors and design the best logistics options for them.
