MEXICO CITY — Mexican import taxes on more than 1,400 products from China and other Asian countries will be as high as 50%, as the country tries to shore up domestic production and pass on some of the Trump administration’s tariff pain.

President Claudia Sheinbaum said the tariffs revealed a day earlier in her administration’s budget proposal are intended to counter the effects of U.S. tariffs on some products from Mexico, particularly in the automotive sector, which accounts for 23% of Mexico’s manufacturing.

Among the products that will face the import taxes are light vehicles, auto parts, textiles, shoes, plastics, electronics, toys and other items.

The budget is expected to pass easily through Mexico’s Congress, where the governing party holds majorities in both chambers.
