Why is Mexico central to nearshoring?

Under the USMCA and the shift of manufacturing closer to the US market, Mexico has become a major nearshoring base. Forwarders on CargoLinked support this with ocean import of components and cross-border FTL/LTL trucking of finished goods into the United States.

What is an agente aduanal and do I need one in Mexico?

An agente aduanal is a licensed Mexican customs broker who files the Pedimento declaration through the VUCEM single window, manages duties and taxes, and handles IMMEX/maquiladora programs. Mexican law generally requires one; many forwarders on CargoLinked provide brokerage.

Which Mexican ports and crossings do forwarders use?

Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas lead on the Pacific, with Veracruz and Altamira on the Gulf. The busiest US land crossings are Laredo/Nuevo Laredo and Tijuana/Otay Mesa. Air cargo moves through Mexico City (MEX).
