HTS Chapter 23

Residues and waste from the food industries

25 HTS codes in this chapter

Processed food and beverages

Chapters 16 through 24 cover food preparations, sugars, cocoa, cereal preparations, vegetable and fruit preparations, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. This is one of the most heavily regulated sectors, where COFEPRIS and NOM-051 front-of-pack labeling are critical for importing into Mexico. Accurate tariff classification directly impacts applicable duties, which can range from 0% under trade agreements to over 20% for non-preferential products. Additionally, Mexico applies a Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) to sugary drinks, alcoholic beverages, and certain high-calorie foods.

Key Regulations
