How we measure it
Harmonized System headings 0207. Values are declared invoice values at import, at each shipment's incoterm. In Mexico only definitive imports count. Importers are companies: individuals are neither counted nor published. Multi-brand: three or more suppliers in 2025, the largest at 60% or less, with no declared link to the importer. Changes compare the same months of 2025 and 2026, up to the latest month available in each country. Details in our methodology.
