CBP also released a website with additional information and status updates on the IEEPA refund process and the rollout of the CAPE Portal.

- Mexico amends Article 141 provisions on guarantee of tax liabilities
Mexico amended Article 141 of its Federal Tax Code to eliminate the mandatory order of priority that taxpayers had to follow when providing documents to guarantee tax liabilities when challenging a tax assessment. It also removed the requirement to provide evidence of economic capacity to access certain types of guarantees. The changes were published on 9 April 2026 and took effect 10 April 2026. A transitional regime is available for taxpayers that provided guarantees in 2026 before the amendment was enacted and published.
