Ciudad Juárez customs office collects nearly $60 billion pesos in a year
Ciudad Juárez’s customs office collected 59,897 million pesos between June 2025 and June 2026, according to data from Mexico’s National Customs Agency (ANAM) cited by Marcelo Vázquez Tovar, the Chihuahua delegate of the National Association of Importers and Exporters of Mexico (Anierm). The total is roughly six times the approximately 10,000 million peso annual budget of the Ciudad Juárez municipal government.
Ciudad Juárez’s June collection extends a multi-year climb
June 2026 alone brought in 4,300 million pesos, Vázquez Tovar said, citing ANAM figures. That figure is well above the same month in prior years: 2,347 million pesos in June 2024, 3,086 million in June 2023, 3,133 million in June 2022, and 2,824 million in June 2021.
The June 2026 number came down from an unusually high 5,600 million pesos registered the previous month, in May 2026, but stayed far above the historical range for that time of year.
Customs restructuring and trade growth drive the increase
Vázquez Tovar attributed the rise mainly to a governmental restructuring of the customs system, including measures aimed at reducing tax evasion and administrative changes that made operations more efficient. He also pointed to solid growth in international trade exchange and to the resilience of the border amid the tariff dispute between Mexico and the United States.
Anierm calls for reinvestment at the San Jerónimo-Santa Teresa crossing
Vázquez Tovar said a percentage of the revenue collected in Ciudad Juárez should be reinvested in modernizing and developing the border region. He pointed to the San Jerónimo-Santa Teresa crossing as having significant room for growth, and said the city’s other international crossings also need more resources to speed the movement of goods.
What rising customs volume means for companies moving goods across the border
The scale of activity Vázquez Tovar described points to a border where trade volume is growing faster than the infrastructure built to process it — a gap that companies moving goods through Ciudad Juárez feel directly, in wait times, documentation requirements, and crossing logistics.
