Tesla’s arrival in Mexico could boost cross-border trade by $15B

For U.S.-Mexico trade, Tesla Inc. could prove to be the gift that keeps on giving.

“Tesla’s impact on Mexico can already be felt long before they actually open their Mexico gigafactory,” Jordan Dewart, president of logistics operator Redwood Mexico, told FreightWaves. “After Tesla’s move to...

A medida que las protestas de los camioneros en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Canadá finalmente se dispersan, los temores de que el movimiento podría provocar protestas similares en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México han demostrado ser en gran medida infundados.

La administración Biden cerró las fronteras estadounidenses a los camioneros canadienses y mexicanos no vacunados o parcialmente vacunados el 22 de enero. Canadá anunció la imposición de una vacuna COVID-19 similar a los...

Mexican truckers unlikely to protest vaccine rules, industry observers say

As trucker protests at the U.S.-Canadian border finally disperse, fears the movement could spark similar protests at the U.S.-Mexico border have proved largely unfounded.

The Biden administration closed U.S. borders to unvaccinated and partially vaccinated Canadian and Mexican truck drivers Jan. 22. Canada announced similar COVID-19 vaccine mandates on cross-border truckers beginning Jan. 15. Mexico has no vaccine requirements.

They say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, but in terms of shipping, this is definitely not the case for goods bound for Mexico. Cross-border shipping carries inherent risks that often can’t be avoided. From differing rules and regulations to theft, it’s best to equip your business with partners who know the ins and outs of shipping on both sides of the border.

‘Just so big’: China’s outsize role in trade at Texas border crossings

Though well behind Mexico, China ranks second for international trade at the three largest United States-Mexico border crossings in Texas: Laredo, El Paso and Pharr.

Its status on the border is buoyed by imports of auto parts, cellphones, electrical circuit boards and other goods, say public officials and industry experts.

Teclo Garcia, Laredo’s economic development director, said cellphones were the top imports from China through Port Laredo during 2020.

“We had $1.16 billion in total trade with...
