Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard stated on August 21 that Mexico has not identified any transshipment of goods from third countries that exceeds 1% of its total foreign trade. The statement serves as a formal denial of allegations regarding the triangulation of Chinese products through Mexico to reach the United States market.
This clarification addresses concerns regarding trade compliance and the potential circumvention of tariffs. By quantifying the alleged illicit activity at less than 1%, the Mexican government seeks to maintain the integrity of its trade relationship with the United States and refute claims that the country is being used as a conduit for Chinese exports to avoid trade barriers.
