table of chapter contents

1. Until January 1, 2004, Mexico may maintain the provisions of the Decree for Development and Modernization of the Automotive Industry (“Decreto para el Fomento y Modernización de la Industria Automotriz”), December 11, 1989, (the “Auto Decree”) and the Resolution that Establishes Rules for the Implementation of the Auto Decree (“Acuerdo que Determina Reglas para la Aplicación para el Fomento y Modernización de la Industria Automotriz”), November 30, 1990, (the “Auto Decree Implementing Regulations”) that would otherwise be inconsistent with this Agreement, subject to the conditions set out in paragraphs 2 through 18. No later than January 1, 2004, Mexico shall bring any inconsistent provision of the Auto Decree and the Auto Decree Implementing Regulations into conformity with the other provisions of this Agreement.
    
   Autoparts Industry, National Suppliers and Independent Maquiladoras
2. Mexico may not require that an enterprise attain a level of national value added in excess of 20 percent of its total sales as one of the conditions to qualify as a national supplier or enterprise of the autoparts industry.
3. Mexico may require that a national supplier or an enterprise of the autoparts industry, in calculating its national value added solely for purposes of paragraph 2, include customs duties in the value of imports incorporated into the autoparts produced by such supplier or enterprise.
4. Mexico shall grant national supplier status to an independent maquiladora that requests such status and meets the requirements for that status set out in the existing Auto Decree, as modified by paragraphs 2 and 3. Mexico shall continue to grant to all independent maquiladoras that request national supplier status all existing rights and privileges accorded to independent maquiladoras under the existing Decree for the Promotion and Operation of the Maquiladora Export Industry (“Decreto para el Fomento y Operación de la Industria Maquiladora de Exportación”), December 0;22, 1989 (the “Maquiladora Decree”).
    
   National Value Added
5. Mexico shall provide that a manufacturer (“empresa de la industria terminal”) calculate its required national value added from suppliers (VANp) as a percentage of :
   1. the manufacturer's reference value as set out in paragraph 8 ; or
   2. the manufacturer's total national value added (VANt), whichever is greater, except that Mexico shall provide that a manufacturer beginning production of motor vehicles in Mexico after model year 1991 calculate its required national value added from suppliers (VANp) as a percentage of its total national value added (VANt).
6. Mexico may not require that the percentage referred to in paragraph 5 be greater than :
   1. 34 percent for each of the first five years beginning January 1, 1994 ;
   2. 33 percent for 1999 ;
   3. 32 percent for 2000 ;
   4. 31 percent for 2001 ;
   5. 30 percent for 2002 ; and
   6. 29 percent for 2003.
7. Notwithstanding paragraph 6, Mexico shall allow a manufacturer that produced motor vehicles in Mexico before model year 1992 to use as its percentage referred to in paragraph 5 the ratio of actual national value added from suppliers (VANp) to total national value added (VANt) that the manufacturer attained in model year 1992, for so long as that ratio is lower than the applicable percentage specified under paragraph 6. In determining such ratio for model year 1992, purchases that the manufacturer made from independent maquiladoras that would have been eligible to receive national supplier status had paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Appendix been in effect at that time, shall be included in the calculation of the manufacturer's national value added from suppliers (VANp), in the same manner as autoparts from any other national supplier or enterprise of the autoparts industry.
8. The annual reference value for a manufacturer (“reference value”) shall be :
   1. for each of the years 1994 through 1997, the base value for the manufacturer, plus no more than 65 percent of the difference between the manufacturer's total sales in Mexico in that year and its base value ;
   2. for each of the years 1998 through 2000, the base value for the manufacturer, plus no more than 60 percent of the difference between the manufacturer's total sales in Mexico in that year and its base value ; and
   3. for each of the years 2001 through 2003, the base value for the manufacturer, plus no more than 50 percent of the difference between the manufacturer's total sales in Mexico in that year and its base value.
9. Mexico shall provide that where a manufacturer's total sales in Mexico in a year are lower than its base value, the reference value for the manufacturer for that year shall be equal to the manufacturer's total sales in Mexico for the year.
10. In the event an abnormal production disruption affects a manufacturer's production capability, Mexico shall allow the manufacturer to seek a reduction in its reference value before the Intersecretariat Automotive Industry Commission, established under Chapter V of the Auto Decree. If the Commission finds that the production capability of the manufacturer has been impaired by such an abnormal production disruption, the Commission shall reduce the manufacturer's reference value in an amount commensurate to the event.
11. If, on the request of a manufacturer, the Intersecretariat Automotive Industry Commission finds that the production capability of the manufacturer has been significantly disrupted as a result of a major retooling or plant conversion in the facilities of the manufacturer, the Commission shall reduce the manufacturer's reference value for that year in an amount commensurate with the disruption, provided that any reduction in that manufacturer's required national value added from suppliers (VANp) that may result from the Commission's determination to reduce the manufacturer's reference value shall be fully made up by the manufacturer over the 24 months after the date on which the retooling or plant conversion is completed.
     
    Trade Balance
12. Mexico may not require a manufacturer to include in the calculation of its trade balance (S) a percentage of the value of direct and indirect imports of autoparts that the manufacturer incorporated into that manufacturer's production in Mexico for sale in Mexico (VTVd) in the corresponding year, greater than the following :

    8. 60.5 percent for 2001 ;
    9. 57.7 percent for 2002 ; and
    10. 55.0 percent for 2003.
13. Mexico shall provide that, for purposes of determining a manufacturer's total national value added (VANt), paragraph 12 shall not apply to the calculation of the manufacturer's trade balance (S).
14. Mexico shall allow a manufacturer with a surplus in its extended trade balance to divide its extended trade balance by the applicable percentages in paragraph 12 to determine the total value of new motor vehicles that it may import.
15. Mexico shall provide that a manufacturer's adjustment factor (Y), included in the calculation of such manufacturer's extended trade balance, shall be equal to :
    1. for a manufacturer that produced motor vehicles prior to model year 1992
       1. the greater of the manufacturer's reference value or the manufacturer's total national value added (VANt), minus
       2. the manufacturer's actual national value added from suppliers (VANp) divided by the appropriate percentage specified under paragraph 6 or 7 as appropriate ;
    2. for all other manufacturers
       1. the manufacturer's total national value added (VANt), minus
       2. the manufacturer's actual national value added from suppliers (VANp) divided by the appropriate percentage specified under paragraph 6, except that the adjustment factor (Y) shall be zero if the amount resulting from subtracting (ii) from (i), under (a) or (b), is negative.
16. In determining the annual amount that a manufacturer may apply to its extended trade balance from unused surpluses earned prior to model year 1991, Mexico shall in any year allow the manufacturer to elect :
    1. to use the procedures of the existing Auto Decree Implementing Regulations ; or
    2. to apply up to the Mexican peso equivalent of US$150 million, adjusted annually for cumulative inflation, from the date of entry into force of this Agreement, based on the implicit price deflator for U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or any successor index published by the Council of Economic Advisers in its “Economic Indicators” (hereinafter “U.S. GDP price deflator”). To adjust the US$150 million ceiling for cumulative inflation up to a certain month of a year following 1994, the $150 million shall be multiplied by the ratio of
       1. the U.S. GDP price deflator current as of the month of that year, to
       2. the U.S. GDP price deflator current as of the date of entry into force of this Agreement, provided that the price deflators under subparagraphs (i) and (ii) have the same base year. The resulting adjusted amount shall be rounded to the nearest million dollars.
    
     
    Other Restrictions in the Auto Decree
17. Mexico shall eliminate any restriction that limits the number of motor vehicles that a manufacturer may import into Mexico in relation to the total number of motor vehicles that such manufacturer sells in Mexico.
18. For greater certainty, the differences in treatment required under paragraphs 5, 7 and 15 shall not be considered to be inconsistent with Article 1103 (Investment - Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment).

Appendix 3.1 : Administration of Import and Export Prohibitions, Restrictions and Consultation Levels

table of sections

A. Trade between Canada and Mexico and between Mexico and the United States

1. This Appendix applies to prohibitions, restrictions and consultation levels on nonoriginating textile and apparel goods.
2. An exporting Party whose textile or apparel good is subject to a prohibition, restriction or consultation level shall limit its annual exports to the specified limits or levels, and the importing Party may assist the exporting Party in implementing the prohibition, restriction or consultation level by controlling its imports.
3. Each Party shall count exports of textile and apparel goods subject to a restriction or consultation level against the limit or level :
   1. applicable to the calendar year in which the good was exported ; or
   2. authorized for the following year if such exports exceed the authorized limit or level for the calendar year in which the good was exported, if allowed entry into the territory of the importing Party.
4. Each exporting Party whose goods are subject to a restriction or consultation level shall endeavor to space exports of such goods to the territory of the importing Party evenly throughout each calendar year, taking into consideration normal seasonal factors.
5. On written request of an exporting Party whose goods are subject to a prohibition, restriction or consultation level, that Party and the importing Party shall consult within 30 days of receipt of the request on any matter arising from the implementation of this Appendix.
6. On written request of an exporting Party that considers the application of a prohibition, restriction or consultation level under this Annex has placed it in an inequitable position in relation to another Party or a nonParty, the exporting Party and importing Party shall consult within 60 days of receipt of the request to seek a mutually beneficial solution.
7. An importing Party and an exporting Party, at any time by mutual agreement, may adjust annual Designated Consultation Levels (DCLs) as follows :
   1. if the exporting Party whose goods are subject to a DCL wishes to export goods in any category in excess of the applicable DCL in any calendar year, that Party may present to the importing Party a formal written request for an increase in the DCL ; and
   2. the importing Party shall respond, in writing, within 30 days of the receipt of the request. If the response is negative, the Parties concerned shall consult no later than 15 days after the receipt of the response or as soon thereafter as mutually convenient, and shall endeavor to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. The Parties concerned shall confirm any agreement reached on a new DCL by an exchange of letters.
8. Adjustments to annual specific limits (SLs), including those set out in Schedule 3.1.2, may be made as follows :
   1. an exporting Party wishing to adjust an SL shall deliver a notice to the importing Party of its intent to make an adjustment ;
   2. the exporting Party may increase the SL for a calendar year by no more than six percent (“swing”) ; and
   3. in addition to any increase of its SL under subparagraph (b), the exporting Party may increase its unadjusted SL for that year by no more than 11 percent by allocating to such SL for that calendar year (the “receiving year”) an unused portion (“shortfall”) of the corresponding SL for the previous calendar year (“carryover”) or a portion of the corresponding SL for the following calendar year (“carryforward”), as follows :
      1. subject to subparagraph (iii), the exporting Party may utilize carryover, as available, up to 11 percent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year,
      2. the exporting Party may utilize carryforward charged against the corresponding SL for the following calendar year, up to six percent of the unadjusted SL for the receiving year,
      3. the combination of the exporting Party's carryover and carryforward shall not exceed 11 percent of the unadjusted SL in the receiving year, and
      4. carryover may be utilized only following confirmation by the importing Party that sufficient shortfall exists. If the importing Party does not consider that sufficient shortfall exists, it shall promptly provide data to the exporting Party to support that view. Where substantial statistical differences exist between the import and export data on which the shortfall is computed, the Parties concerned shall seek to resolve these differences promptly.
   B. Trade between Mexico and the United States
9. During the transition period, nonoriginating textile and apparel goods of Mexico exported to the United States shall be subject to the restrictions and consultation levels specified in Schedule 3.1.2, in accordance with this Appendix and its Schedules.

10. In addition, on January 1, 1994, the United States shall eliminate restrictions or consultation levels on textile and apparel goods that are assembled in Mexico from fabrics wholly formed and cut in the United States and exported from and reimported into the United States under :
    1. U.S. tariff item 9802.00.80.10 ; or
    2. Chapter 61, 62 or 63 if, after such assembly, those goods that would have qualified for treatment under 9802.00.80.10 have been subject to bleaching, garment dyeing, stonewashing, acidwashing or permapressing.
    Thereafter, notwithstanding Section 5, the United States shall not adopt or maintain prohibitions, restrictions or consultation levels on textile and apparel goods of Mexico that satisfy the requirements of subparagraph (a) or (b) or the requirements of any successor provision to U.S. tariff item 9802.00.80.10.
11. Mexico and the United States may identify at any time particular textile and apparel goods that they mutually agree fall within :
    1. handloomed fabrics of a cottage industry ;
    2. handmade cottage industry goods made of such handloomed fabrics ; or
    3. traditional folklore handicraft goods.
    The importing Party shall exempt from restrictions and consultation levels goods so identified, if certified by the competent authority of the exporting Party.
12. The Bilateral Textile Agreement Between the United States of America and the United Mexican States, signed at Mazatlán, February 13, 1988, as amended and extended (the Bilateral Agreement), shall terminate on the date of entry into force of this Agreement.
13. On request of either Party, the Parties shall consult to consider accelerating the elimination of restrictions or consultation levels set out in Schedule 3.1.2 on specific textile and apparel goods. An agreement between the Parties to accelerate the elimination of a restriction or consultation level shall supersede Schedule 3.1.1 when approved by each such Party in accordance with Article 2202 (2) (Amendments).
14. During 1994, Mexico may carry over any unused portion of the 1993 limit specified in the Bilateral Agreement, or apply against the 1994 limit specified in this Appendix any exports made during 1993 in excess of the applicable limit under the Bilateral Agreement, in accordance with the flexibility provisions set forth in paragraph 8.
15. All exports of textile and apparel goods from the territory of Mexico to the territory of the United States covered by restrictions or consultation levels under this Appendix shall be accompanied by an export visa issued by the competent authority of Mexico, pursuant to any bilateral visa arrangement in effect between the Parties.
16. On written request of either Party, both Parties shall consult within 30 days of receipt of the request on any matter arising from the implementation of this Appendix. In addition, on written request of either Party, both Parties shall conduct a review of this Appendix by January 1, 1999.
17. For purposes of applying prohibitions, restrictions or consultation levels, each Party shall consider a good as being of :
    1. man-made fibers if the good is in chief weight of manmade fibers, unless
       1. the good is knitted or crocheted apparel in which wool equals or exceeds 23 percent by weight of all fibers, in which case it shall be of wool,
       2. the good is apparel, not knitted or crocheted, in which wool equals or exceeds 36 percent by weight of all fibers, in which case it shall be of wool, or
       3. the good is a woven fabric in which wool equals or exceeds 36 percent by weight of all fibers, in which case it shall be of wool ;
    2. cotton, if not covered by subparagraph (a) and if the good is in chief weight of cotton, unless the good is a woven fabric in which wool equals or exceeds 36 percent by weight of all fibers, in which case it shall be of wool ;
    3. wool, if not covered by subparagraph (a) or (b), and the good is in chief weight of wool ; and
    4. non-cotton vegetable fiber, if not covered by subparagraph (a), (b) or (c), and the good is in chief weight of non-cotton vegetable fiber, unless
       1. cotton with wool and/or man-made fibers in the aggregate equal or exceed 50 percent by weight of the component fibers thereof and the cotton component equals or exceeds the weight of each of the total wool and/or man-made fiber components, in which case it shall be of cotton,
       2. if not covered by subparagraph (i) and wool exceeds 17 percent by weight of all component fibers, in which case it shall be of wool, or
       3. if not covered by subparagraph (i) or (ii) and manmade fibers in combination with cotton and/or wool in the aggregate equal or exceed 50 percent by weight of the component fibers thereof and the man-made fiber component exceeds the weight of the total wool and/or total cotton component, in which case it shall be of man-made fibers.
    For purposes of this paragraph, only the textile fibers in the component of the good that determines the tariff classification of the good are to be considered.
