A leading commodities company partnered with us to enhance their cross-border shipping efficiency to IMMEX customers in Mexico.
Challenge: The client needed to ship Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) products to their IMMEX customers and Full Truckload (FTL) products to another customer in Mexico on a weekly basis. Their turnaround times were slow, ranging from days to weeks, affecting their ability to meet customer demands promptly.
Our Solution: We utilized our FTZ warehouse in Laredo to streamline their supply chain:
Bonded Warehousing: Provided secure storage in our Laredo bonded warehouse, allowing them to avoid immediate tariffs.
Technology & AI Automation: Simplified requirements and offered live tracking of inventory, pickups, and drop-offs. Provided same-day 7512s or 214s documentation.
Cross-Border Transportation: Managed transportation and customs brokerage in both the U.S. and Mexico using containers, dry vans, and flatbeds.
Result: Reduced their shipment turnaround time to same-day or next-day fulfillment. The client could respond swiftly to their customers' needs, improving satisfaction and gaining a competitive edge.
This success story highlights how our FTZ Laredo services, including bonded warehousing and comprehensive logistics solutions, can transform your cross-border operations.
