Mexico: Proposed Extension to Organic Products Law 'LPO' Compliance

In May 2021, Mexico posted a draft proposal to the National Commission of Regulatory Improvement (CONAMER) website to modify the “Measure that establishes the merchandise whose importation is subject to regulation by the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development” (the Measure). The modification aims to extend the deadline for imported organic products listed in the Measure to comply with Mexico’s Organic Products Law (LPO) from June 2021 to January 2022. Stakeholders may comment on the proposal through the CONAMER website before final publication in the Federal Gazette (Diario Oficial).
