On March 30, 2026, the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT) published the First Resolution of Amendments to the General Foreign Trade Rules for 2026, introducing a key update: an extension for compliance with the Electronic Value Manifest (MVE).
What is the MVE?
The Electronic Value Manifest (MVE) is a declaration used to support the customs value of imported goods, submitted electronically through the Ventanilla Única de Comercio Exterior (VUCEM). It ensures transparency and consistency in import valuation.
Key Update
- New mandatory compliance date: June 1, 2026
- Until then, companies have a transition period to adapt processes and systems
Why It Matters
The MVE strengthens:
- Control over customs valuation
- Data traceability and consistency
- Oversight by tax authorities
After the deadline, errors or non-compliance may lead to audits, delays, or penalties.
What Should Companies Do?
- Review and align valuation processes
- Ensure proper supporting documentation
- Prepare systems for MVE submission via VUCEM
- Coordinate with customs and compliance teams
The extension provides time to prepare, but companies should act early to avoid risks once the MVE becomes fully enforceable.
