Mexico Cross-Border Experts
We provide direct flatbed transportation into Mexico for machinery purchased from dealers and online equipment auctions. Common crossings include Laredo, TX, with experienced carriers handling securement and cross-border coordination from pickup to final delivery.
We specialize in Direct Trailer Service. Your freight stays on the same trailer from pickup in the U.S. to delivery in Mexico. This eliminates the risk of damage during transfer and speeds up transit times.
Expanded cargo insurance available for equipment shipments into Mexico.
Capacity is king. We leverage Armstrong Transport Group’s vetted carrier network to ensure your freight is covered even during peak seasons. From specialized Mexican authorities to multi-axle heavy haulers, we have the right trailer for the job.
Secure supply chain partners compliant with U.S. Customs trade partnership standards.
Real-time visibility on Mexican units so you never lose sight of your valuable cargo.
On-Time
Pickup Rate
Skip the phone tag. Tell us what you’re shipping and where it’s going, and we’ll build a custom lane quote for you.
Delays happen when paperwork isn’t perfect. We proactively manage the documentation flow between the shipper, the carrier, and the customs broker.
EXPORT
We coordinate the “Cruce” (crossing). Ensuring the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading align perfectly before the truck reaches Laredo.
IMPORT
We track the “Pedimento” status and coordinate with U.S. Customs brokers for immediate clearance upon arrival.
Missing a single digit on a commercial invoice can hold a truck at the border for days.
From raw materials southbound to finished goods northbound, we keep your supply chain moving.
Door-to-door service where the same U.S. trailer crosses the border. No transloading, less handling, faster delivery.
Specialized lowboys and RGNs for over-dimensional freight entering or leaving Mexico. We handle permits on both sides.
Expert handling of CNC machines, injection molders, and industrial equipment to maquiladoras and manufacturing plants.
Cost-effective expedited freight solutions for time-critical U.S.–Mexico shipments across major border corridors.
Cost-effective solutions for transporting auction-purchased machinery in and out of Mexico
Complex logistics management for plant relocations and major infrastructure projects in Mexico.
Moving construction equipment or infrastructure components to Mexico requires precise coordination. We handle the specialized trailers, the route surveys, and the complex permitting required by Mexico’s SCT.
Whether you’re setting up a new production line in Monterrey or shipping finished components from Queretaro, we provide the specialized transport you need. From delicate CNC machines requiring air-ride suspension to bulk raw materials.
Mexico’s highways can be tough on freight. We use premium tarping, crating, and blocking & bracing techniques to ensure your cargo arrives in perfect condition, whether it’s sensitive electronics or finished machinery.
In Mexico, carrier cargo insurance is limited. If your load is stolen or damaged, you could lose thousands. We offer All-Risk Cargo Insurance up to $500,000 per shipment.

“Moving our injection molding machines to Nogales was stressful until we found Abound. They handled the direct transport perfectly. No transloading meant no damage.”
Nogales, AZ

Common questions about shipping to and from Mexico.
Yes. Unlike Canada, Mexico requires a licensed Mexican Customs Broker (Agente Aduanal) for importation. We can work with your broker or recommend one to handle the 'Pedimento' and duty payments.
You must provide a Commercial Invoice (English & Spanish), Bill of Lading, Packing List, and a NAFTA/USMCA Certificate of Origin. For regulated goods, additional permits from Mexican agencies (like COFEPRIS) may be needed.
The Carta Porte is a mandatory tax supplement issued by the SAT (Mexico's tax authority) for all goods moving within Mexico. It digitally details the cargo, shipper, receiver, and carrier to combat contraband.
Direct (Door-to-Door) keeps freight on one trailer, reducing damage risk but is often more expensive. Transloading (unloading at the border) is cost-effective and opens up more capacity with Mexican carriers. We offer both solutions.
We operate through all major ports: Laredo, TX (primary industrial hub), El Paso, TX, Otay Mesa, CA, Nogales, AZ, and Pharr, TX. We select the crossing based on your origin/destination to minimize mileage.
1. US carrier delivers to Laredo yard. 2. Docs are validated. 3. A 'Transfer' (B1) driver takes the trailer across the World Trade Bridge. 4. Mexican carrier picks up the trailer or transloaded freight in Nuevo Laredo for final delivery.
Yes. We specialize in temporary import logistics for manufacturing. We understand the specific documentation codes required to ensure your goods are imported duty-free under the IMMEX decree.
C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) is a voluntary supply chain security program. Using C-TPAT carriers allows access to FAST lanes at the border, significantly reducing inspection times.
No. Mexican law limits carrier liability to ~$0.05/lb. This is insufficient for most cargo. We strongly recommend purchasing our All-Risk Cargo Insurance to cover the full value of your goods door-to-door.
Yes. We handle heavy haul projects requiring SCT (Secretariat of Infrastructure) permits. Note that Mexico has different restrictions on travel times and pilot car requirements than the U.S.
