Mexico imposes 156% sugar tariff Nov. 11 to protect domestic industry amid surplus.
Mexico has imposed a 156% ad valorem tariff on sugar imports, effective November 11, 2025, to protect its domestic sugar industry amid a projected production increase to 5.2 million tonnes for the 2025/2026 cycle.
The move follows a surplus in the previous cycle, with production at 4.7 million tonnes and domestic consumption at 3.9 million tonnes, leading to excess inventory.
The tariff, which applies to imports from WTO members without trade agreements with Mexico, aims to stabilize the market, support over 440,000 direct jobs, and generate about 41 billion pesos ($2.2 billion) in revenue for the Health Ministry.
The policy could affect U.S. sugar availability and prices, especially given Mexico’s limited export quota of 188,000 tonnes to the U.S.
