Mexico Customs Brokers for Southbound and Northbound Cargo
We clear your freight into Mexico and back into the United States at Otay Mesa and Tijuana. One team coordinates the U.S. side and the Mexican agente aduanal side, so your load does not stall at the line waiting on a pedimento or a missing document.
What a Mexico Customs Broker Actually Does for You
Moving goods into Mexico is not the same process as importing into the U.S. Every southbound shipment needs a pedimento, the official Mexican customs entry document, filed by a licensed agente aduanal who is legally authorized to clear cargo through Mexican customs. As a U.S. brokerage on the border, we hold the working partnership with that Mexican broker and run both sides of the crossing as one coordinated move, so nothing gets lost in the handoff between two countries and two systems.
When the two sides are not coordinated, freight sits. A pedimento classification that does not match the U.S. export paperwork, a missing NOM compliance record, or an IMMEX detail entered wrong can hold a trailer at the border for hours or send it back. We reconcile the U.S. export filing and the Mexican import entry before the driver reaches the crossing, so your load moves on the schedule you planned instead of the schedule customs forces on you.

How we handle it
Review the shipment both directions
We look at your commodity, value, and program status, then confirm how it clears going into Mexico and how it returns to the U.S. Classification and compliance get checked on both sides before anything ships.
Prepare and align the paperwork
We build the U.S. export filing and hand our partner agente aduanal the data to draft the pedimento. Invoice, packing list, and entry details are reconciled so the two filings match.
Clear the crossing at Otay Mesa
The pedimento is filed on the Mexican side and the CBP entry on the U.S. side. We coordinate timing with your driver so the trailer crosses without waiting on a document.
Confirm and close the entry
You get the cleared entry records for both countries, duties and taxes accounted for, and a point of contact who already knows your freight for the next load.
