Route strategy
Monterrey is an inland industrial market, so gateway choice must include the final site
Ocean freight to Monterrey needs a Mexican port plus inland transport to Nuevo Leon. The best route should be selected around the actual factory or warehouse destination, cargo characteristics and current carrier service rather than a generic Mexico rate.
Monterrey International Airport has dedicated air and land bonded cargo facilities supporting import/export and customs-transit operations. This makes air useful for eligible urgent industrial cargo, but the final customs and delivery scope still needs confirmation.
