Citing rapid growth from the Mexican auto industry, Japanese freight forwarder Yusen Logistics has opened two offices, both inside and outside Mexico City International Airport. By doing so, it has eliminated the need for an agency and will manage its operations internally.
Because of increased demand for imported auto-related freight, Yusen established a customs office within the free trade zone of Mexico City Airport. The customs office is expected to make it easier to check freight status within the airport transit shed, clear customs efficiently, and supervise truck loading.
A cross-dock office for air exports has been opened outside the airport. Yusen will now handle its own negotiations of freight charges with airlines and issue its own air waybills. The forwarder plans to arrange a similar structure at Guadalajara and Monterey airports.
