We would like to make you aware of a national transportation blockade announced by multiple Mexican transport associations, including CANACAR and endorsed by CAAREM (Mexico’s national customs broker association). This action is expected to take place on Monday, November 24, and may impact major highways, border crossings, and port operations throughout Mexico.

While the scope and execution of the protest remain fluid, the overall operational risk for transit delays is high.

Most shipments for this holiday week are already positioned at the border, but any new transportation requests or in-transit cargo could experience extended delays, reduced capacity, or routing changes as the situation evolves.
