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.
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.
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.
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.
We hold the permit. We file the pedimento. We own the lane.
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.
C-TPAT trusted-trader lane
CBP pre-clearance. Trusted-trader status. Sub-24h TJ floor → US fulfillment dock. Q4 lanes pre-booked, not improvised.
WRAP-certified ethical production
Labor standards, working conditions, environmental compliance — audited annually. Documents in your shared drive, not "we'll get back to you."
Duty-optimized USMCA routing
We plan component flows under USMCA to minimize landed cost. Typical DTC savings: 22–38% vs. direct-import. Modeled at quote time, not at the border.
Border math, solved at quote time.
Component classification
HTS codes mapped at quote stage. USMCA qualification documented. Duty exposure modeled per SKU.
Bond & pedimento
Raw materials enter under our IMMEX bond. Pedimentos filed by our customs team — your name doesn't appear in the chain.
Production
Cut, sew, print, finish in our Tijuana facility. WRAP-audited. Photographed at QC. Documented at every step.
Cross-border crossing
C-TPAT lane. CBP pre-cleared. Trucks dispatched off our dock with manifest filed. <24h TJ → San Diego.
U.S. injection
Inventory lands at our San Diego node. Available in your WMS within hours. Ready for parcel injection same-day.
Documentation
Pedimentos, bills of lading, USMCA certificates of origin, WRAP audit reports — all in your shared drive at month-end.
