Mexico National Customs Agency integrity and reform

Overview

Allegations of corruption and conflicts of interest have emerged within Mexico’s National Customs Agency (ANAM). Investigations have focused on high-ranking officials, including the Director General of Modernization, Equipment, and Customs Infrastructure, Darío Eugenio Reyes Villagómez, and the Director General of Customs Electronic Data Processing, Arturo Jeshván Alcántara Villanueva. Reports suggest officials may have demanded improper payments to expedite procedures and noted potential links to companies previously involved in major technology and maintenance contracts.

In response to operational challenges, ANAM has proposed reforms to the Customs Law aimed at combating the undervaluation of goods. The agency is seeking to adjust parameters for precautionary seizures, specifically proposing to lower the valuation difference threshold from 50 percent to 20 percent to better address undervalued imports. Additionally, ANAM is implementing a Value Intelligence System, which utilizes automated algorithms to identify discrepancies in declared values and importer compliance.
