8. Unifies data contained in the cargo manifests, allowing carriers to submit information to Customs authorities in Mexico and the United States (SAT and CBP) simultaneously in electronic format. Enables customs authorities of both countries to perform joint risk assessment. Additionally, traders will benefit from having an identical format to convey information, resulting in faster and less expensive procedures. Rail freight. A pilot program is being deployed for northbound traffic (from Mexico to the US) at Nogales, Sonora – Nogales, Arizona, and at Mexicali, Baja California – Calexico, California. It is expected to be operating by the end of 2014. Land cargo: The Mexican Revenue Service (SAT) will develop a manifest for truck cargo, starting with northbound traffic. Pilot testing will start in 2016. Sea and air cargo: Pilot testing of harmonized manifests is expected to begin in 2015. Single Rail Manifest 7

9. CBP and SAT will conduct a joint inspection at a single checkpoint, facilitating customs clearance. The project includes three initial pilots: Laredo (Texas) Airport to clear air cargo destined to 7 Mexican airports. Tijuana Port of Entry, at Mesa de Otay, to clear agriculture products. “Foxconn” facilities, near Ciudad Juárez Port of Entry, to clear computer shipments. 8 Cargo Pre-inspection

10. AEO Mexico certifies manufacturing enterprises, shippers (transporters) and customs brokers. In the near future, the program will extend to other parties in the supply chain to include industrial parks, port operators and couriers. By July 31th, 2014, 447 applications have been submitted (not including shippers), among which: 390 have been authorized 35 are being processed 12 have relinquished 10 have been denied The 390 certified enterprises have a total of 763 facilities, of which 276 are C-TPAT. 390 Certified Enterprises 763 Certified Facilities Authorized Economic Operator- Mexico 9

11. Certified Cargo Infrastructure Pilot Program: Certified cargo confined lanes Main objectives Develop infrastructure, equipment and operation rules to expedite clearance for AEO Mexico and US. Benefits are divided in four stages: 1.Reaching Customs facilities. 2.Entering Customs facilities. 3.Inspection and verification at Mexican ports of entry. 4.Inspection and verification at CBP. Pilot Program selection process 1.Review built in capacity and traffic flows in customs facilities along US/MX border. 1.Joint visits in the following crossings: Zaragoza/Ysleta Mexicali/Calexico Tijuana/Otay Nuevo Laredo/Laredo 3.

13. Mexico has the most solid Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) in Latin America. Therefore, various countries have approached Mexico with the intention of subscribing a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA). An MRA allows for the recognition between the AEOs of two countries and the compatibility of their respective levels of exigency. Both parties in an MRA recognize their counterpart as reliable, promoting the development of new supply chains between the two Nations. On March 11 th, the MRA between Mexico’s and Korea’s AEOs was signed, constituting the first MRA in Mexico and Latin America. We are currently completing the last phase in the negotiation to subscribe a similar agreement with the United States of America’s C- TPAT program. Once this agreement is formalized, the benefits for certified enterprises that take part in foreign trade with the US will be tangible. Mutual Recognition Agreement 12

14. Improved Passenger Inspection A new procedure was recently implemented in 12 airports, by which baggage inspection is done using X-ray equipment, and only if the automated selection device requires it, reducing the time for passenger customs clearance. Trusted Traveler Program (Viajero Confiable) A Trusted Traveler will be able to clear immigration and customs through special desks located at the Mexico City, Cancun and Los Cabos airports. By June 30 th, there were 468 members of the program. Payment of duties for exceeding personal exemption at point-of-sale (POS) terminals By June 30th, 125 POS terminals have been installed in 46 Ports of Entry across the Country, registering a total of 44,569 operations that equal 3.7 million dollars in revenue collection.
