Pemex personnel, the National Guard, and the Attorney General's Office (FGR) conducted an operation against fuel smuggling at the international bridges in Reynosa and Matamoros, which caused imports to be paralyzed for hours at the Tamaulipas border this Friday.
The inspections were carried out on trailers attempting to cross the US-Mexico border. In Reynosa, they were carried out at the Pharr Reynosa International Bridge, while in Matamoros, they were carried out at the Los Indios and Los Tomates International Bridges, according to unofficial information and social media reports that demonstrated the delay.
In the case of Reynosa, the line of trucks extended along Cage Avenue and overtook the Military Highway in the city of Pharr.
The drivers of the trucks complained about the delay, as they were unable to move forward for several hours due to the very thorough inspections. First, the truck drivers were asked for their documentation to verify that the cargo matched the invoices and the customs declaration, meaning that no attempt would be made to import fuel by passing it off as other merchandise that would pay less taxes.
A physical inspection of the units was also carried out, which made the procedure very slow, and by Friday afternoon, transportation and importing companies began to push to expedite the process.
Therefore, prosecutors from the Attorney General's Office (FGR), members of the National Guard, and Pemex had to speed up the process to move the line more quickly.
Fiscal huachicol experienced a 14% increase since 2020, according to estimates by the Tax Administration Service (SAT). This represented 14% of the total demand for gasoline and diesel in Mexico, resulting in significant losses.
The strategies used to evade taxes include importing fuels labeled as automotive lubricants that are not subject to the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS), altering documents, and falsely declaring imports.
It is estimated that fiscal huachicol represents a variation between the amount exported by the United States and imported into Mexico of 40 million liters of fuel per day.
This figure reveals a monumental embezzlement in terms of tax revenue, particularly in consumption taxes, such as the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) and the Value Added Tax (VAT), which are essential for supporting social programs and infrastructure projects.
In southern Tamaulipas, 10 million liters of diesel were seized from a Singapore-flagged ship. The ship arrived at the Port of Tampico and unloaded the fuel at the designated yard, which was then stored on a property in Altamira.
That sucks for those companies.
ReplyDeleteThis is why the Trump administration needs to take over Mexico. Enough is Enough!
ReplyDeleteHe's too busy crashing the economy. Enough is enough I don't care about your 401k!!!!
DeleteTry it find out . That’s why we are taking usa back
DeleteYour Cheeto Jesus doesn't give a dam about you self. For him u will always be his ATM account. 😂
DeleteHaha American companies benefit from huachicol by paying less for the black market fuel. You won’t see CBP making busts of huachicol.
DeleteLmao … not enough Mexicans in the world to take back the US .. sorry buddy but those are the facts … by the way I’m Mexican
DeleteWhy the hell would anybody want to “take over” such a violent, corrupt, dysfunctional country filled with low IQ savage citizens?

ReplyDeleteWhy was it illegal?
They loaded it in Matamoros and got it off at Tampico.
DeleteThis is how Morena gets financed.
ReplyDeleteBy many stats Tamaulipas more dangerous than Iraq ..Shame on you corrupted mexican politicos who instead of prosper Pemex and that kind of.shit are taking from bloody ala narco fosa stinky money who destroying soul of hlorious mezo mexican people.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the US is bank rolling, arming and politically backing a genocide where babies are getting blown to pieces and 4 year olds are getting shot in the head and chest thanks to the good ol US of A.
DeleteIts been like that since 2010 where the fuck you been?
Delete1:06 pm i feel you pop, but truth is that holy war has been going on for at least 200 years. It's sad that they can't share because trump wants a casino and hotel off the gaza strip.
DeleteThe Mexican government does this huge delay of trucks going into the U.S looking for illegal fuel but they don't do it for illegal drugs like fentanyl. Does Mexico really care about the drugs going to the U.S? Their actions say no. This is why we hit them with tariffs. They have an incentive with finding illegal fuel which means higher taxes paid for the Mexican government. The Mexican government works with the cartels. Finding illegal drugs would piss off their business partners and have zero incentive. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDelete🤦🏻♂️ the Mexican gov BENEFITS from this practice. “NUFF SAID” 🤦🏻♂️
Delete@9:42
Delete"We hit them with tarrifs"
The importer (USA) pays the tarrifs. Look it up. Trump scores own goal.
Does the USA care about stemming drug abuse in their own country? Look in the mirror first.
DeleteAnd the US wants Mexico to do that, but won't do the same with wePons going in to Mexico. They just want Mexico to spend money fighting the drug flow that US citizens demand like that the US doesn't have to spend on anything to help the US's citizens, their fellow country men, fight drug use and/or raise awareness or fund programs. Even though it's a US pronlem that they don't want to waste money on tackling, they expect Mexico to take on that burden... GTFOH with that nonsense!
DeleteAnd so you know, I'm from the US! Born and raised!
Delete@11:13 you clearly have no idea about US policy towards drug abuse. They will literally give suboxone to whom ever will come take it. Rehab is free the government has billions set aside trying to deal with the demand side of the problem. But it’s kinda hard when you got ole Jose or Juan that came over to work in the fields is pushing fentanyl down their throats as soon as they clean themselves up. I mean really. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Deletewhat weapons ?
DeleteIf you want to get clean and sober in the United States, there's a million different opportunities and treatment programs that are available
DeleteFor some odd reason a topic rarely written about in these pages and an absolute cash cow for the TAMPS criminal and political landscape. IYKYK
ReplyDeletePpl of MX need to take their country back..
ReplyDeleteIts simple the mexican government wants its cut while trying to look like theyre doing something. Those millions of dollars in unpayed taxes go straight to the pockets of illegal gas and the politicians in their pockets.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for a good read, read Pure Narco. It is a true story about Luis Navia, a Cuban drug broker who facilitated the movement of huge cocaine shipments.. He did business with the big Colombian and Mexican cocaine dealers. He had a fake Mexican passport and was nearly kidnapped by Alcides Ramon Magana, "El Metro". A deep dive into international cocaine trafficking.
ReplyDeleteLike, that is a clear explanation for import tariffs and indivisible environmental business regulation sanctions.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen my tarantula?
ReplyDeleteIt should be around here somewhere..
Se la comieron los haitianos.
Deletefound it!!
ReplyDeleteWe eat 'em in Oaxaca
