ABSTRACT
This industry analysis focuses on the Mexican market for textile fabrics used in garment production. Mexico and Canada are the two largest export markets for U.S. textile products. U.S. exports of textiles and fibers to Mexico have increased by 25 percent each year since 1986. The vast majority are used by maquiladoras and are reexported to the U.S. as finished garments. In terms of volume, since 1996 Mexico has been exporting more textile products to the U.S. than China. In dollar value of imports to the U.S., Mexico came in first this year, with US $2.900 million between January and May, an increase of over 25%. If this trend continues, the total value of Mexican textile product exports will surpass revenue generated from petroleum exports.

NAFTA has created tremendous new opportunities for U.S. fiber and textile producers to expand sales and increase production. In 1996, textile exports to Mexico for garment fabrication increased by 45% (US $160 million) reaching US $500 million. During the same period, Mexican-made garment exports to the U.S. increased by 32%. With guaranteed access to the U.S. market, the Mexican textile industry is prospering as more and more companies bring in foreign investment, taking advantage of Mexico's low salaries (begining at US $120 per month for unskilled labor) and its efficient work force. Some optimists are predicting Mexico will become the Hong Kong of Latin America, the leader in all aspects of the textile business, from fibers and knits to garments. Mexico is strong in the production of fibers and the cutting and assembly of garments. Production of quality fabric for apparel, on the other hand, is the achilles heel" of Mexico's garment industry, thus providing excellent opportunities for U.S. fabric manufacturers.

Prospects are especially good for polyester blends and cotton fabrics. Acrylic is produced in abandunce locally. Apparel manufacturers indicate they need more options and variety of selection.

The Mexican market for apparel fabrics is expected to grow by at least 12 percent per year for the next three years. Imports, dominated by the U.S., are expected to average ten percent annual increases over the next three years. Growth of the textile sector is primarily attributable to NAFTA, as more and more garments are assembled in Mexico for the U.S. market. Also contributing to import growth is additional foreign investment prompted by confidence in Mexican trade policy, the general growth of the Mexican economy (3 to 5 percent estimated economic growth during the next three years), and growth in population.

Garment manufacturing has been one of Mexico's traditional activities. The quality of production has improved notably and today Mexico enjoys a worldwide reputation for the quality of its textile products and punctuality in filling commercial orders. The most lucrative foreign markets for Mexico besides the U.S. and Canada are: Great Britain, Japan, Spain, Chile, and Brazil. Mexico is currently negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union which would provide many new opportunitites for Mexican garment exports and for fabric suppliers of the Mexican garment industry.

Imports of machinery and equipment for the textile and apparel industry have increased dramatically since NAFTA went into effect--65% per month from an average of $49 million USD in 1994 to $81 million USD in 1998 during the period of January to July. The vast majority are sewing machines which accounted for 24% of all textile machinery imports in 1998. Continued investment in equipment and improved production techniques have led to strong apparel exports. Exports of chapters 61 and 63 of HTS (including in-bond industry)have gone from $100 million USD in 1990 to $5.4 billion USD in 1998. Annual increases in Mexican confection have averaged $650 million USD. The "maquila" of apparel increased $1.1 billion USD from 1995 to 1996, resulting in 40% growth in one year. Between January and July 1998, exports increased by 59% compared to the same period in 1997.

Apparel exports other than in-bond (maquiladora) represented 20% of Mexico's total exports in 1997 and 23% in 1998. Total apparel non-maquiladora exports grew by 68% in just one year, thus outpacing maquiladora growth. Growth of the Mexican apparel industry brings additional opportunities for U.S. textile fabric mills and U.S. yarn manufacturers for supplying the maquiladoras and domestic manufacturers.

2) MARKET TRENDS

Following worldwide trends, apparel in Mexico is much more casual than it used to be. Solid colors predominate, with black being a pereniel favorite for women, especial for evening wear. Small feminine prints are currently making a comeback. Colors tend to be more conservative in Mexico City than the provinces. Mexican male fashion for 1999-2000 follows more classic lines. Colors are rather conservative among the fashion-conscious. For men's garments, fabrics of choice include pinstripe Merino wools with a bit of Lycra for better fit. Colors are subdued, with an emphasis on grey, brown, and black. There is a mix of classic fabrics and an array of new treatments: unlined boiled wool toppers, teflon-coated microfibers and waterpoof gabardines. The Mexican textile industry has two selling seasons: winter and summer. Preparations for the winter season begin in September, and in February for the summer season. Due to the importance of seasons and fashion trends, delivery deadlines are of critical importance. In addition to the in-bond industry's activity, Mexico designs, manufactures and exports a great variety of garments.

4) IMPORTS
A) OVERVIEW
Since Mexican yarn producers do not cover all the needs of the
fabrics sector, a significant amount of yarn is imported
(especially polyester/viscose and polyester/cotton). Mexico's
requirements of knitted fabrics and woven woolen and worsted
fabrics are supplied by the local industry, but not woven cotton
and man-made-fiber needs. Most woven cloth for shirts/blouses and
ladies' dresses and summer skirts is imported without duty or
restriction.
Mexican garment manufacturers and textile distributors buy and
sell fabric by the meter rather than by yard. U.S. textile mills
should be prepared to provide an export price list with unit
prices by the meter.

B) IMPORTS FROM THE U.S.
Total U.S. textile fabric imports into Mexico (including
temporary imports, maquila imports, and imports for domestic
consumption) increased from $1,052,477,658 in 1997 to
$1,406,643,928 in 1998 (close to a 25% increase). U.S. textile
fabric imports are projected to jump to $2,450,880,805 in 1999
and $3,240,572,107 in year 2000. The U.S. share of the total
import market was 71.6% in 1997 and 74.10% in 1998. It is
projected to increase to 75.6% in 1999 and 76.89% in year 2000.
End-user receptivity to U.S. products/services in Mexico is high,
but price continues to be the principal factor in selections.

A: Duties were eliminated entirely in January, 1994 for
products complying with NAFTA provisions.

B: Duties were eliminated in January 1998 for products
complying with NAFTA provisions.

C: Duties shall be eliminated in 10 equal stages of 10 of the
NAFTA base rate. This reduction began on January 1, 1994, with
full duty elimination slated for January 1, 2003.
**Other country duty rates: these rates are for countries Mexico
does not have free trade agreements with.
Mexico is vigorously pursuing free trade agreements with many
other nations as a way of expanding the benefits from trade
liberalization and lessening its dependence on the U.S. market.
Prior to 1998, in addition to NAFTA, Mexico had signed free trade
agreements with Chile, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Colombia, and
Venezuela. In 1998, Nicaragua joined the list of Mexico's free
trade partners. Negotiations for NAFTA-consistent free trade
agreements continue between Mexico and every other South and
Central American couontry, including the Mercosur group, as well
as with Israel and the European Union.
Prior to NAFTA, Mexico's average tariff on U.S. textile and
apparel products was 16 percent, with rates as high as 20 percent
on some products. By contrast, the average U.S. tariff on
Mexican imports was 9.1 percent. The NAFTA immediately
eliminated duties on over one fifth of U.S. exports to Mexico.
Duties were lowered by 10 to 20 percent.
As of January of 1998, Mexico eliminated duties on 93 percent of
U.S. yarn and thread exports, 89 percent of U.S. fabrics exports,
and 60 percent of U.S. exports of made-up textiles. Mexico will
eliminate its remaining tariffs by January 1, 2003.
While NAFTA guarantees U.S. textile producers preferential access
to the Mexican market, it does not prevent Mexico from raising
tariffs on products from outside the region. In fact, Mexico
responded to the peso devaluation in part by raising duty rates
on textiles and other manufactured products from non-NAFTA
countries to 35 percent, while continuing to apply its lower
NAFTA rates to U.S. imports.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR IMPORTING PRODUCTS
Mexican customs law is very strict regarding the proper
submission and preparation of customs documentation. Errors in
paperwork can result in fines and even confiscation of
merchandise as contraband. Exporters are advised to ensure that
Mexican clients employ competent, reputable Mexican customs
brokers, or use staff that is fully trained in customs matters.
There are some basic requirements that pertain to all products,
such as the Import Permit (pedimento de importacion). A
commercial invoice in Spanish must accompany this document, as
well as a bill of lading, and documents demonstrating guarantee
of payment of additional duties for undervalued goods (see
Customs Valuation) if applicable, and documents demonstrating
compliance with Mexican product safety and performance
regulations (see Standards) if applicable. The import
documentation must be prepared and submitted by a licensed
Mexican customs broker.

In order to receive preferential tariff treatment under the
NAFTA, importers must provide a written declaration of origin on
the import petition. Mexican customs law requires Mexican customs
brokers to have in their possession, at the time of declaration,
a certificate of origin provided by the exporter of the goods.
NAFTA prescribes clear rules for determining the origin of
merchandise and eligibility for preferential tariff treatment.
To qualify for special tariff and quota treatment, goods
generally must be produced from yarn made in a NAFTA country
(yarn forward). The NAFTA includes exceptions to this general
rule, however, intended to give producers flexibility to import
products when needed. One example is a system of tariff
preference levels established in NAFTA under which yarn, fabric,
and apparel that is made in North America but does not meet the
yarn forward test may, nevertheless, be accorded preferential
duty treatment up to agreed annual import levels.
U.S. exporters should consult with the importer's customs broker
if goods qualify for NAFTA treatment. Exporters may also request
an advanced ruling regarding the origin of the goods from Mexican
customs authorities.

PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING LOWER DUTY RATE
If there is no Mexican manufacture of a certain product, it may
be possible to request a lower duty rate from the Mexican
government. The Mexican importer would have to petition the
Mexican goverment and prove there is no local manufacture and
that a lowered duty would not negatively impact local industry.
The Mexican importer or agent should contact the local office of
the following government ministry:
SECRETARIA DE HACIENDA Y CREDITO PUBLIC / SERVICIO DE
ADMINISTRACION TRIBUTARIA (Mexican IRS)
If the importer is in Western Mexico, he should contact:
Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico /
Servicio de Administracion Tributaria
Oficina Regional de Occidente
Circuito Federalista Jalisciense de 1823 / sin numero
Residencial Poniente 45136
Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico
tel: (3) 832-1882 or 678=7137

COMPENSATORY DUTY FOR IMPORTS FROM CHINA
When Mexico goined the GATT in 1989, import barriers came down,
leading to a great influx of Chinese imports. In spite of 40%
duty, low-cost Asian (primarily Chinese) imports came close to
destroying the apparel industry. The trade associations
representing this sector lobbied the Mexican government to impose
high compensatory duties to counteract what was perceived as
unfair pricing. These duties (which currently average 533% for
apparel) went into effect in 1995 and are due to expire on
January 1, 2000. There is much concern in the apparel industry
that if the compensatory duties are eliminated, 25% of the 11,000
companies comprising the Mexican clothing industry would be
forced to close operations. During the inaugurationof an
important apparel trade show, Alejandro Faes, V.P. of the
National Chamber of the Clothing Industry of Mexico, strongly
expressed great concern over the elimination of the compensatory
duties and suggested the establishment of a minimum import price
to prevent the entry of Chinese apparel below international
market rates.

STANDARDS
There are no standards specified for textile fabrics and yarns.
On June 2, 1997 the Mexican authorities published a decree that
provides a list of products by Mexican tariff number which are
subject to NOMs(standards). This list does not include textile
fabrics and yarns.
Applicable standards for textile fabrics and yarns are determined
by comparing the HS code with the official Mexican government
publications listing the products having to comply with NOMs. The
first list (agreement) was published on December 28, 1995 and
amended on June 28, 1996, November 13, 1996, and February 24,
1997. A second list was published on June 2, 1997 and amended on
October 10, 1997, December 16, 1998, and April 5, 1999. Mexican
customs officials use these lists to determine which products
need to provide proof of compliance with standards of all Mexican
agencies, not only those of the Mexican Commerce Department
(SCFI).

LABELING REGULATIONS
According to the June 2, 1997 decree and SECOFI officials
responsible for the elaboration and publication of NOMS, textile
fabrics and yarns do not need to comply to Mexican labeling
regulations.

B. COMPETITION
The Mexican market for imported textile fabrics has grown
considerably. The import of textiles for domestic consumption
was USD $429,851 million in 1998 with an estimated increase to
USD $468,538 million in 1999. Total imports (including maquila
and temporary imports) were USD 1.9 billion in 1998 and are
expected to increase in 1999 to USD $ 2.4 billion.
Mexico imports textile fabrics from a number of countries besides
the U.S., primarily from Taiwan, Korea, and China. The principal
importers of textile fabrics are garment manufacturers and fabric
stores. They use local press and the local yellow pages to
advertise their products; wholesalers distribute their products
to small fabric stores.
Mexico is expected to continue importing fabric from various
countries, primarily from the U.S.
Fabrics made in the United States have a high level of
recognition and acceptance among consumers. This upward trend
will continue, since local producers tend to move slowly in
updating designs and offering fabrics at comparable or lower
prices.

Key competitive factors for U.S. exporters are price, quality,
and delivery times.
There are a number of fabric wholesalers and many small fabric
stores in Mexico. The owners of many of the smaller businesses
travel to Los Angeles, Miami, North Carolina, and New York to
purchase their fabric.
Mexican consumers are price sensitive. The majority of the
population cannot afford expensive apparel. As long as U.S.
prices remain low and U.S. suppliers continue to offer good
quality and up-to-date designs, the U.S. should retain its market
share.

C. END USERS
End users of textile products in Mexico are garment
manufacturers, seamstresses, and tailors. There are 12,859
garment companies registered with the CANAINVE (Mexico's National
Apparel Industry Chamber) as of September 1999, and some 87,000
independent seamstresses and tailors. Large garment
manufacturers, maquiladoras, and seamstresses /tailors primarily
use imported fabrics.
Seamstress and tailor shops exist everywhere in Mexico. Due to
their large number, these shops consume considerable quantities
of fabrics. They buy most of their imported fabrics from
distributors in the principal cities of Mexico: Mexico City,
Guadalajara, and Monterrey.

D. MARKET ACCESS
There are no impediments to selling textile fabrics in Mexico.
U.S. exporters looking at Mexico will find an open market.
Imports are subject to customs duties. There is a value-added
tax of 15% to be paid on the sum of ad valorem duty and the CIF
value of the imports.
The Government welcomes foreign investment. Foreign investors
are generally afforded national treatment and joint ventures are
encouraged, though most foreign firms operate as locally
incorporated subsidiaries.
There are no restrictions on converting or transferring funds
associated with an investment into a freely usable currency (USD)
at a legal market-clearing rate. US dollars are freely available
and easy to obtain within the Mexican banking system. There have
been no reports of unusual delays in the remittance of investment
returns.

BUSINESS PRACTICES
Mexicans do a lot of business with the United States. Most
importers have traveled to the United States and/or done business
with U.S. businesspersons. Nevertheless, to maximize the
probability of succeeding in the Mexican market, U.S. exporters
should be aware of and respect local business practices.
Business travel to Mexico:
While U.S. tourists are not required to obtain a visa to visit
Mexico, business visitors from the U.S. must enter Mexico using a
NAFTA form called FMN. This form can be obtained from the
Mexican Embassy or any Mexican Consulate in the U.S., and is also
available at the port of entry with immigration officers.
Activities for which a visiting U.S. business person should
obtain a FMN form are: business meetings, trade events,
consulting, technical support, marketing. For additional
information, please see International Market Insight Report:
Business Travel Immigration Form.
Language:
Spanish is the official language of Mexico. Catalogues and
technical literature should be provided in careful translations.
Currency:
The official currency unit is the peso. The updated exchange
rate as of October 1999 is about $9.40 pesos to US$1.00.
Currency exchange facilities are available at the airport and
almost all around the major cities.
Business hours:
Business hours for commercial and industrial firms are from 9:00
to 2:00 and 4:00 to 7:00. It is usual for offices and businesses
to be closed for lunch from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Transportation:
Taxi service is readily available and inexpensive. Some of the
major hotels also offer airport shuttle services for guests.
There are excellent new toll roads in Mexico, but these are very
expensive. Air travel within the country is also relatively
expensive.
Communications:
Basic telephone service as well as Internet connection is easily
available at major hotels in the larger cities: Mexico City,
Monterrey and Guadalajara. Generally, calls can be place to the
U.S. without any problems.

DISTRIBUTION
Mexico is very bureaucratic with many rules and regulations. When
selecting a distributor, it is important to appoint one who can
handle all permitting and customs issues as part of its service
to its customers.

Developing relationships with smaller apparel manufacturers could
be a good place to begin, since many are looking for reliable
ways to source needed fabrics. U.S. textile fabric suppliers may
want to use a local representative and a bonded warehouse to
service smaller producers. A list of distributors and reps for
textiles is included in the key contact section at the end of
this report.

The most important element in selling successfully to Mexico is
appointing a good distributor. Generally speaking, the more
pre-sales marketing and after-sales support and service that a
product requires, the more important it is to have a local agent
or distributor.

One of the most important decisions a U.S. company will make in
Mexico will be the selection of a qualified and competitive sales
representative and/or distributor. A distributor with
well-positioned sales outlets in the major commercial centers
will greatly enhance chances of capturing a large share of the
market. English language capability, while important, should not
be over-emphasized as a decision factor when selecting an agent
or distributor. Reputation, product and industry knowledge,
track record, enthusiasm, and commitment should also be weighed
heavily. Mexico can be a great place from which to enter the
larger Central American market.
In deciding with whom to work, U.S. firms should take the time to
get to know the people they are considering, both in business and
social settings (i.e., visit their offices, request trade
references).

In Mexico business is usually conducted based on personal
relationships. Mexican business executives place great
importance on personal contacts with suppliers. U.S. suppliers
are advised to have a local representative or distributor and to
travel to Mexico.

All apparel maquiladoras in Mexico require just-in-time-delivery
from their suppliers.

There is a need for a closer working relationship between fabric
suppliers and garment manufacturers in order to program the
seasonal purchases and delivery of goods on time. Delivery times
are an important factor that end-users take into account in
decision-making.

Most Mexican distributors of textile fabrics and supplies are
located in Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City.
Distributors usually stock a variety of fabrics and promote their
products by frequently calling on their customers. Use of fabric
catalogs and samples is common. Trade shows are important points
of encounter between distributors and end-users.
Properly trained, Mexican workers are eager to provide quality
service. We suggest selecting a distributor who provides
continuous on-going training, including both job-specific and
secondary education elements.

Advertising:

Ads in specialized magazines can be very effective, especially in
publications distributed to members of related associations and
textile / apparel industry professionals. A list of specialized
magazines is included in the key contact section of this report.

FINANCING

Large distributors and manufacturers are usually granted credit
terms of net 30 or net 60 days by U.S. manufacturers; small
distributors and apparel manufacturers pay in cash. Purchases
made in Mexico usually have a shorter line of credit--about 30
days, but can go up to net 60 day of credit. Irrevocable letters
of credit are commonly used when dealing with foreign suppliers.
Major Mexican commercial banks, (e.g. Banamex, Bancomer, Serfin,
and Bital) provide bank services including transfer of funds,
letters of credit, and money orders. Many have correspondent
banks in the United States.

The most secure means of payment is cash in advance or an
irrevocable letter of credit. However, many Mexicans imports are
financed through short term (typically 60-90 days), lines of
credit. Generally, these are extended directly by the U.S.
exporter to the Mexican importer. This method of financing is
usually only available to large importers and long-term clients.
The Export-Import Bank (EXIMBANK) of the United States offers
credit guarantees and insurance for United States exports to
Mexico. United States firms should speak with their bankers or
contact the EXIMBANK at telephone: (800) 565-EXIM or (202)
565-3946.

BANCOMEXT, the Mexican "EXIMBANK" has many programs to help
promote Mexican exports. A little known fact is that it also
offers some assistance to Mexican exporters to help finance trips
in search of quality inputs for manufacturing items destined for
export.
