Conversion rate, 1957 & 1968: 12.50 pesos (100 centavos) = US$1.00, 



In addition to the above a tobacco tax is also collected at the time of importation: 1968, 20 percent ad valorem on cigars 

 (value after duty), 1957, 11.55 percent; and 35 percent ad valorem on smoking, chewing and snuff (value after duty). 



Computed on official valuation. Ad valorem duties are levied on the invoice value or the official Mexican valuation as shown in 

 the tariff, whichever is higher. 



NOTE: There is a surtax of 3 percent of the duty. On shipment by mail the surtax is 10 percent of duty. There is a "Barter" 

 surcharge— 6 percent of value. 



Prior import license required on all tobacco. Imports into free zones and perimeters also require prior import Licenses.
