Dude? What I say. 😂 Cross-border US/MX trade consistent from inception & the end of NAFTA. (1994-2020) 26 years of preferred Duty status ($0/minimal) boosted the MX Peso, with US companies that opened locations in...? Cost of labor in MX over US or CA is cheaper where? Now bring those bad boys up (finished or VAS goods) cross the border into the US and what'd you know? It's a NAFTA shipment, (zero or preferred status) Duty. Look at our margins! Dude, brilliant! 26 years, wow what a run. Wonder if the uptick, is from product 'outside' of Mexico that piggyback Markings: Made in MX, Product of MX, Partially assembled in MX, etc.

That sure is unfortunate, but its real and Troy shares here that the only real solution is to have a Borderless Coverage program in place offering All Risk Cargo Insurance in Mexico that is Inclusive of theft.
