Mexico: Elimination of MFN import duties applicable to certain types of eggs and yolk
Description
On September 13, 2012, the Government of Mexico published a decree that eliminates the Most Favored Nation (MFN) import duties applicable to certain types of eggs and yolk.
The elimination of tariffs on eggs and yolks responds to the goal of increasing the product supply and to stabilize the national prices of the egg market in Mexico.
The above, after the effects of the avian influenza outbreaks reported on June, 2012 in the State of Jalisco.
This decree eliminates the MFN duties applicable to goods classified under the following tariff lines: 0407.21.01, 0407.21.99, 0408.11.01, 0408.19.99, 0408.91.01, 0408.91.99, 0408.99.01 and 0408.99.99.
These amendments will be effective as of September 14, 2012.
