Border crossing delays causing late shipments

Markon Cooperative BB #:123315 released this border update February 12, 2025:

Mexico is currently experiencing extremely long border crossing delays into the U.S. at most entry points due to a scheduled customs system update this past weekend.

Crossing delays began Monday, February 10, as Mexican customs agents began having problems generating documents as a result of the update. A contingency plan is in place to clear loads and cross shipments; however, the process is very slow going.

The result is long truck lines today, Wednesday, February 12, with reports of trucks waiting as long as eight hours at South Texas points of entry. Expect late shipments into the McAllen, Texas, area this week, and in some instances, products arriving into U.S. warehouses a day late.

Outbound produce shipments in major points of entry cities, such as Nogales, AZ, and McAllen, TX, will be delayed for the rest of this week. It’s recommended to notify domestic carriers of potential delays in advance.

Please contact your Markon Account Manager for more information.
