Most Boeing imports to the United States from Mexico are duty-free, the company reported.
So far, the Trump administration is maintaining the tariffs announced during the first quarter of 2025 on goods imported from China, as well as on goods imported from Canada and Mexico that do not comply with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Boeing imports
U.S. customs applies different tariffs to Canada and Mexico. Products that do not comply with the USMCA face rates of 35% and 25%, respectively. In addition, light vehicles pay 25%, excluding U.S. content, while steel, aluminum, and copper are subject to a 50% tariff.
In this context, Janneth Quiroz Zamora and Kevin Louis Castro, analysts at Monex, noted that Mexico paid an average effective tariff rate of 3.54% between January and October 2025. This figure was considerably lower than that recorded by China, at 32.0%.
“We believe that most of our imports from Canada and Mexico comply with the provisions of the USMCA,” Boeing said in its annual report.
On June 14, 2019, Boeing signed an agreement to acquire EnCore Group, a California-based company specializing in aerospace interiors. The company designed, certified, and produced aircraft galleys and seats, as well as supplying products and components directly to Boeing.
At that time, EnCore Group had approximately 700 employees and was headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, with facilities in California and Mexico. The company had been a Boeing supplier since 2011 and had previously been recognized as Supplier of the Year.
Manufacturing production
As of December 31, 2025, Boeing had approximately 111 million square feet of floor space dedicated to manufacturing, warehousing, engineering, administration, and other productive uses. Of that total, approximately 86% was located in the United States.
The combined floor space at its main locations exceeded 103 million square feet. In commercial aircraft, these facilities were distributed across metropolitan areas in the United States and in countries such as China, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and Mexico.
In defense, space, and security, Boeing concentrated its operations in U.S. cities and Australia, as well as strategic areas such as Washington, D.C., Houston, and the Kennedy Space Center. Finally, in global services and other segments, it maintained a presence in the United States, Europe, China, and India.
