In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) established new rules that affected the maquiladora program. For example, by 2001, Mexico will restrict the duty preferences available to maquiladoras for non-NAFTA-originating raw materials used in the manufacture or assembly of finished products. In addition, changes brought about by NAFTA and Mexican law will virtually eliminate all restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing sector, making it unnecessary to establish a maquiladora facility to assemble in Mexico. It is too early to predict what the effects of the changes in the maquiladora law will be for the border region. ( See app. VI for details. ) Figure I. 2 illustrates a maquiladora plant in Tijuana, Mexico, near the Otay Mesa crossing. Page 13 GAO / NSIAD-99-190 U.S.-Mexico Border Issues
