Nearly 90% of Mexico’s exports to the U.S. come from supply chain trade, led by foreign MNEs.
Auto manufacturing is the most critical among them.

A 25% tariff on ALL Mexican imports would have a compounded effect, severely disrupting the transportation equipment industry and damaging North America’s deeply integrated supply chain.

Auto parts move back and forth 7-8 times before the final product is assembled.

📌 Example:
🔹Aluminum engine block cast in Saltillo, 🇲🇽 → Detroit 🇺🇸 for precision machining
🔹 Cylinder head cast in Monterrey → Machined in the U.S. → Sent back to Mexico for subassembly
