TIGIE (Mexico Tariff Schedule)
Mexico's official tariff schedule containing all tariff classification codes, descriptions, and duty rates for imported and exported goods.
What is the TIGIE?
The TIGIE (Tarifa de la Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importación y de Exportación) is Mexico's official tariff schedule — the equivalent of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). It classifies all goods in international trade with their tariff codes, descriptions, units of measure, and applicable duty rates.
Structure
- 22 Sections grouping goods by origin or use
- 98 Chapters (2 digits)
- Over 12,000 active tariff codes
- Based on the WCO Harmonized System
- Updated periodically through presidential decrees
Comparison with HTS
While the TIGIE and the U.S. HTS share the same 6-digit HS base, they diverge at the national level (digits 7-8 for Mexico, 7-10 for the U.S.).
Examples
- To classify a smartphone, look up TIGIE Chapter 85 (electrical apparatus) and find the specific code 8517.13.01.
- The 2025 TIGIE update added new codes for commercial drones in Chapter 88.
