Modern Nearshoring Strategies

Mexico continues to be the top trade partner with the United States, surpassing both China and Canada. Shipping freight cross border between the U.S. and Mexico requires a clear understanding of the transportation process, tight regulatory compliance and experts who can execute. Working with a reliable 3PL who have people and locations in Mexico can help ensure a smooth cross-border freight process. Nearshoring, or relocating business operations closer to the target market, can reduce transportation costs and improve supply chain efficiency.
