The Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) in Mexico has been at the forefront of combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime, playing a pivotal role in enhancing customs enforcement. Through transparency initiatives like the establishment of an online customs portal and public awareness campaigns, SAT has significantly improved the efficiency of its operations while promoting legal compliance. The agency has also implemented advanced technologies, such as blockchain-based systems, to track and verify the origin of goods, ensuring a secure trade environment.
In addition to its transparency efforts, SAT has strengthened international cooperation with neighboring countries, including the U.S., to combat cross-border crimes effectively. Legal reforms in 2022, such as the Ley Federal de Derechos, have provided SAT with enhanced powers to address transnational crime. With a focus on sustainability, the agency has reduced its environmental impact through paperless clearance systems and the installation of solar panels at its facilities. SAT’s commitment to trade facilitation, security, and environmental responsibility positions it as a leader in global trade.
