What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mexico implemented a 50% tariff on finished cars from countries without a trade agreement, such as China, starting January 1, 2026, though engines under 1.0 litre are exempt. In response, Hyundai rerouted the supply chain for the Creta, moving its sourcing from Indonesia to Vietnam over a six-month period.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new tariff law, approved by the Mexican Senate on December 10, 2025, raises duties from 5% to 50% across 1,463 tariff lines. Industry opposition warned that these duties could increase production costs for sectors reliant on Asian inputs, particularly the car industry.
