The Regulations and Non-Tariff Restrictions (RRNA) are measures to regulate the entry or exit of certain goods in the national territory beyond the payment of duty.
Your goal may be related to protection of the health, safety, security, environment, business information, and the control of certain products, or other interests established by the authorities.
For a company that imports or exports, to identify if a good is subject to a RRNA is an important part of the planning of the operation.
What is RRNA?
RRNA corresponds to Regulations and Non-Tariff Restrictions.
Unlike a tariff, which represents an economic burden applied to certain goods, these measures include requirements or conditions that must be fulfilled to make their entry or departure from the country when applicable.
What are some examples of RRNA?
Depending on the goods and the operation, there may be measures such as:
- Permissions prior.
- Notices.
- Quotas.
- Certifications.
- Mexican Official norms apply to you.
- Labeling requirements or business information.
- Country of origin marking.
- Other authorizations or measures established by the competent authorities.
Not all of these requirements apply to all goods, so you should be specific hotfix.
How do you know if a good is subject to RRNA?
One of the key elements is to correctly identify the goods and their tariff classification.
This information lets you check the corresponding provisions, and determine what regulations or restrictions may be applicable to the operation.
In addition, the obligations may depend on the regime, and the characteristics of the goods and other specific conditions.
What happens if goods do not comply with an RRNA?
Failure to comply may prevent or complicate the clearance of the merchandise and generate consequences in accordance with the applicable regulation.
From an operative perspective, it can also lead to delays and additional costs if the requirements are detected when the goods are already in transit or next to the desk.
For this reason, the review must be done from the planning.
RRNA and planning of foreign trade
