That could be but I'm not seeing the 2019 change happening. Mexico is attempting to modify the NAFTA agreement before it happens. It has been in the senate now since last year.
They shut down many aduana agencies over a year ago for bad practices and now the concern is to ensure vehicles entering Mexico for sale are of good quality. (lots of junk makes it's way into Mexico especially salvage vehicles from flooding that don't last long and end up in the trash heap).
I just personally believe that SAT wants to collect tax on vehicles and this is a way to push Aduana to create a permit for a temporary import that has not existed up until now.
I think it's only logical. It is a product that requires either a permit or a tax. Someone has to make a decision and it appears Banjercito is doing that on its own to set a precedent.
