Primary Industry

LOGISTICS & CROSS-BORDER TRADE

Laredo handles more bilateral US-Mexico trade than any other land port of entry in the country — over $300 billion in annual trade flows through this corridor. The logistics and customs brokerage industry is Laredo's economic foundation, and Acapello has served this industry since 2006 with deeper expertise in the regulatory, operational, and financial dimensions of Laredo's trade gateway than any other South Texas advisory organization.

Our logistics and trade advisory practice covers every element of the cross-border operating environment — USMCA compliance, customs entry optimization, C-TPAT certification, Free Trade Zone strategy, Mexico-side IMMEX program management, carrier compliance, and the commercial partnerships across the border that make Laredo logistics companies competitive. We know the agencies, the regulations, and the operational realities that determine whether a Laredo logistics company succeeds or struggles at this gateway.
