Mexico Cracks Down on Alcohol Labeling: Fines, Color-Coded Stamps, and Holiday Enforcement

  • Mexico enforces strict labeling requirements for alcoholic beverages, with significant penalties for noncompliance.
  • Alcohol must have a tax stamp: green for domestic products, maroon for imports, each with a QR code for verification.
  • Selling or buying alcohol without proper labels is illegal and can result in fines up to 112,000 pesos.
  • All parties in the supply chain—manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers—are responsible for compliance.
  • Authorities increase inspections during holidays, urging consumers and businesses to check labels to avoid counterfeit or unsafe alcohol.
