Contract logistics is a dedicated, multi-year partnership with integrated scope, predictable cost and a single point of accountability &#x2014; including customs coordination and compliance.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What is IMMEX and why does it matter for cross-border logistics?<\/summary><p>IMMEX is Mexico's export-manufacturing program that allows duty-deferred import of materials and components for goods destined for export. Operating under IMMEX-compliant infrastructure lets manufacturers reduce duty costs and manage cross-border compliance risk through their logistics partner. U.S. import duties still apply when goods enter the United States; deferral applies to the Mexican side only.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How fast can goods reach the U.S. market from Tijuana?<\/summary><p>From the San Diego&#x2013;Tijuana corridor &#x2014; six miles from the Otay Mesa border crossing &#x2014; goods clear into the U.S. and reach North American distribution in days, compared with the weeks of trans-Pacific lead times typical of offshore manufacturing.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What industries is contract logistics built for?<\/summary><p>Primarily regulated and high-value manufacturing &#x2014; medical devices, aerospace, electronics and hi-tech, and automotive &#x2014; sectors that need secure storage, value-added services and compliance-ready handling.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do you handle customs and returns too?<\/summary><p>Yes. Customs documentation and clearance are coordinated cross-border, and reverse logistics &#x2014; including quality inspection and product recovery &#x2014; is managed under the same agreement.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How is cost structured under contract logistics?<\/summary><p>Cost is defined by the service-level agreement: fixed scope and predictable pricing rather than variable pay-per-use, billed under one agreement instead of multiple vendor invoices. You know the cost before you commit, with a single point of accountability.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How long does it take to go live?<\/summary><p>Most programs are live within six weeks: discovery and assessment, then scope and SLA definition, then integration and first inbound. A named contact is assigned at kickoff and integration runs in parallel with inventory transfer.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"sec sec--dark\"><div class=\"wrap cta-grid\"><div class=\"rv\"><span class=\"eyebrow\">Get started<\/span><h2>Ready to map your nearshore supply chain?<\/h2><p style=\"margin-top:18px\">Tell us your monthly volume and product mix &#x2014; Lateral maps your compliance needs and cost.
