The report provides a technical and legal assessment of Mexico’s current status regarding cross-border paperless trade. This assessment was conducted following the methodology and the legal and technical readiness checklists drafted by UN-ESCAP. According to several indicators on trade facilitation, Mexico is a leader in Latin American and the Caribbean in terms of trade facilitation, and particularly, in paperless trade. Regarding Mexico´s legal readiness, the country has a solid legal framework that fully recognizes electronic transactions, as well as the principles of technological neutrality, autonomy of will, international compatibility and functional equivalence of data messages and electronic signatures. In terms of privacy and protection of personal data, Mexico meets the most relevant international standards. The national legal framework finds additional support in international treaties on electronic commerce and various trade agreements, such as the CP-TPP, the USMCA and the PA.Regarding the assessmentto which Mexico's technical environment supports cross-border paperless trade, it is noted that the country has several electronic systems favoring a paperless environment at the national level, such as the SEA and the VUCEM. These systems have evolved over the last 30 years. The aforementioned systems cover practically all aspects related to the activity that customs users must perform in front the different border control agencies to carry out the cross-border trade of goods (import, export and customs transit). Mexico’s tendency towards continuous improvement of electronic systems and process automation related to international trade, has placed the country as a benchmark in the region. A series of recommendations are presented as part of this assessment, with the purpose of emphasizing opportunity areas and keep the aim for continuous improvement.
