 CUSTOMER ADVISORY UPDATE: Mexico new Bill of Lading requirements
deadlines pushed back. Now mandatory on January 1st, 2022

Complemento Carta Porte al CFDI / Bill of Lading Complement to a CFDI

We have been informed that after several consultation sessions with the business community and transportation
chambers, the Mexican government is extending the deadline to December 1, 2021, after which the requirement
will become mandatory on January 1st, 2022 and penalties will be effective.
Complemento Carta Porte
The Mexican government has recently issued a new fiscal control that will directly impact all commercial
transportation moves in Mexico. As a means to have greater control over the transportation sector, the Mexican
government through the Secretariat of Finance (Hacienda) has issued a new requirement that will tie all cargo
moves digitally to a formal digital invoice, referred to in Mexico as a CFDI, by obligating the carrier to add certain
information to this electronic document in order to create a digital version of a Bill of Lading. The Bill of Lading
will now be a “complement” of the digital invoice that was issued for the shipment by the Mexican carrier.

 CUSTOMER ADVISORY, CONT.
Schneider is ready. Are you?

The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are working with carriers that have procedures,
policies, controls and correct tax compliance in place that guarantee that these types of changes are
considered and complied with.

Schneider Customer Service Representatives have been working with our shippers to proactively
determine any additional data needs prior to implementation. Due to the additional data needed to
schedule a pick-up, it will be important to provide the information early and accurately. Working under a
pre-dispatch scenario or using a consolidated Pedimento for your outbound needs will also drive
efficiencies.

Laredo Outbound Tender Volume and Reject Index’s declining in second half of
the year – possibly a reflection of the capacity imbalance?

During the first half of the year

2019-20 Laredo’s outbound tender volume — a
measure of shipper requests for
2021
truckload capacity — as well as tender
2018-19 rejects — have both been consistently
higher in 2021 than 2020, though are
lower right now vs. the same time last
year, when they spiked during Peak
Season. This may be an indication of
the growing northbound/southbound
2019-20 imbalance.
