Tips for Shippers:

• Cross-Border Documentation:
  • For Mexico-bound cargo, include commercial invoices in Spanish, packing lists, and proof of origin (e.g., USMCA certificate) to avoid delays at the border.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Otay Mesa’s zip code (92154) and specify if goods require temperature control or security escorts for cross-border transport.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Los Angeles/Long Beach is cost-effective for bulk orders; air freight via SAN is ideal for urgent cross-border shipments, especially during peak trade seasons.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value or time-sensitive cargo (e.g., electronics, medical equipment) should be insured with all-risk coverage (recommended 2–4% of shipment value), including coverage for cross-border delays or customs issues.
