An invitation will follow, and more information is provided below.īackground: The Creation of ANAM and its Authorities Akin Gump will host a panel discussion, co-sponsored by the Organization of Women in International Trade, on these developments on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, from 9:30-11 a.m.Further, some industries have become concerned that legal interpretations issued by ANAM are incompatible with prior interpretations by the AGA. The lack of capacity at ANAM offices and the lower customs expertise of military personnel that have been transferred to ANAM offices are causing processing delays, even on routine matters. The implementation of this reorganization of customs functions has begun to cause legal and practical concerns for companies importing into Mexico.Specifically, ANAM’s border offices are supervised by the Secretariat of the National Defense and its maritime customs offices are supervised by the Secretariat of the Navy, while ANAM independently operates only its interior customs offices. While ANAM has administrative authority over customs functions, it operates in conjunction with the Mexican armed forces.ANAM is now responsible for the management, organization and operation of Mexican customs and border inspection functions. In its place, Mexico established a new National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM, by its initials in Spanish) under the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit. On January 1, 2022, Mexico eliminated its General Customs Administration (AGA, by its initials in Spanish), which had operated under the authority of Mexico’s central Tax Administration Service.
