SAT & ANAM extend deadline for importing value declarations

The Tax Administration Service (SAT) and the Mexican National Customs Agency (ANAM) announced an extension of the deadline for filing the electronic value declaration (MVE).

The decentralized agency of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) noted that this measure aims to give foreign trade users more time to familiarize themselves with the new system and make any necessary changes to their processes.

The MVE is a digital document in which importers declare the value of their goods to customs. This value serves as the basis for calculating taxes such as VAT and IEPS. The declaration is essential to the tax collection system because it ensures that the correct taxes are paid, prevents people from evading regulations, and promotes fair competition in the market.

The SAT noted that it extended the deadline for submitting the MVE through the Third Advance Version of the Second Resolution Amending the General Rules of Foreign Trade (RGCE) for 2026, which is available on the SAT website; which amends Transitory Provision Eleven of the RGCE, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) in December 2025.

The amendments include several simplifications for submitting the MVE, such as the fact that it is no longer necessary to submit transport documents, certificates of origin, and guarantee documents, provided they are included with the order.

It is also possible to submit Form E15, which contains general information on MVE contracts, without using the Mexican Single Window for Foreign Trade Procedures (VUTCE).

The extension to submit the MVE until September 2026 allows importers to adapt to the new system and comply with their tax obligations.
