Accounting for 61- 63.5% of total seafood imports, fresh/chilled/frozen fish fillet (HS 0304) continued to be the major imported seafood item, in which tilapia took up the most (34 to 36.3%), followed by pangaius and catfish HS 300462.
In H1/2015, Mexico increased imports of whitefish (cod, Alaska pollock) but as it turned to the third quarter, import value decreased from 30- 40% quarter on quarter.
In the TPP, Mexico committed to removing tax for pangasius from Vietnam in the 3rd year after the agreement enters into force. Export in 2016 - 2017 is forecast to grow better than the previous year.
