Chapter 04
Chapter 04 covers milk and dairy products, eggs, natural honey, and other edible animal products not covered elsewhere. Mexico is a major importer of powdered milk, cheese, and butter, mainly from the U.S., New Zealand, and the EU. Dairy products are subject to tariff-rate quotas and strict sanitary regulations.
0–45%
Actual rates depend on the specific tariff heading, country of origin, and applicable trade agreements (USMCA, EU-Mexico FTA, CPTPP, etc.).
Dairy products have high out-of-quota tariffs (up to 45%). USMCA grants preferential quotas for U.S. and Canadian dairy. A SENASICA zoosanitary certificate and NOM-243-SSA1 compliance are required. Labeling must comply with NOM-051-SCFI.
