Cross-border — IMMEX, C-TPAT, USMCA

Our IMMEX. Our bond. Our crossings.

Most "Mexico manufacturers" rent someone else's permit and broker. We hold ours — which means duties, compliance, and crossings are ours to own, optimize, and guarantee. No shelters, no middlemen, no surprises.

Cross-border is a customs broker with a fax machine.

Renting someone else's IMMEX

Your "Mexico shop" is actually a sub-tenant under a shelter. You don't hold the permit, you don't see the bond, you can't audit the pedimento.

Today

Broker calls duties at the last minute

You priced the program at one landed cost. Broker recalculates at the border. Margin disappears between PO and invoice.

Today

Crossings take 3–5 days, not 24 hours

Trucks sit at Otay. Bond expires. Reschedule. Reschedule again. Drop date moves because the line at customs moved.

Today

No documented compliance

WRAP audit? "We'll get back to you." C-TPAT status? "Let me check." Customer asks for compliance docs and you have to chase them down.

02 / Solution

We hold the permit. We file the pedimento. We own the lane.

Prosper

IMMEX permit — ours, not rented

We clear raw materials, manage bond, and file our own pedimentos. You never hire a broker or negotiate with a middleman.

FAQ

Real cross-border questions.

IMMEX is the Mexican government program that lets manufacturers temporarily import raw materials duty-free for export production. Owning the permit means we file pedimentos under our name, manage our own bond, and you never sit downstream of a shelter operator.

Your border math, solved at quote time.

Send your SKU list, current production location, and current landed cost. We model the IMMEX-routed program — duty savings, lane time, compliance docs — and put it in a deal room you can share with your CFO.
