Export and import freight in La Paz

La Paz occupies a unique logistics position within Mexican foreign trade. As the capital of Baja California Sur, it serves as the main peninsula distribution hub for goods entering and leaving the state, whether by sea through the port of Pichilingue or via the Transpeninsular highway connecting to Tijuana and the Otay Mesa border crossing. At Control Terrestre, we operate export and import freight services in La Paz with full truckload units, coordinating each leg of the route so that cargo flows without interruption between the peninsula, the mainland, and international markets.

The export activity of Baja California Sur depends largely on the fishing industry. Shipments of tuna, sardines, shrimp, and other seafood products require uninterrupted cold chains from the processing plant to the final delivery point, whether in domestic territory or destinations in the United States. Our 48- and 53-foot refrigerated trailers are designed to maintain controlled temperature ranges during long hauls, including the Pichilingue to Topolobampo or Mazatlán ferry crossing and the subsequent overland route to the northern border or Pacific ports.

The agricultural sector in La Paz also generates significant export volumes. Organic products, dates, and vegetables grown in the region's valleys are transported to high-value markets in North America. For this type of cargo, coordinating timing between harvest, peninsula transport, and the border crossing is critical. We work with dry and refrigerated trailers based on the preservation needs of each product, ensuring that customs documentation and phytosanitary protocols align with destination requirements.

In the import flow, La Paz receives hotel equipment, construction materials, technology, and luxury goods destined for the Los Cabos tourism corridor, one of the most dynamic hospitality markets in the country. These shipments typically originate in central Mexico, the northern border, or directly from suppliers in the United States and Canada. We coordinate transport from the point of origin, manage the border crossing when applicable, and organize the final leg by ferry or Transpeninsular highway, depending on the route that offers the best conditions for each type of cargo.

Imports of industrial and technological equipment for government institutions and the mining sector in Baja California Sur represent another segment we regularly serve. For oversized or high-weight loads, we use flatbeds and lowboys, while conventional shipments are moved in dry trailers with the security specifications each client requires.

Our operation holds C-TPAT, FAST, BASC, Transporte Limpio, and Responsible Care certifications, enabling us to operate at border crossings with preferential inspection lanes and meet the security standards required by international supply chains. For exporters and importers in La Paz, this translates into more agile crossing processes and reduced exposure to customs delays.

Peninsula logistics has distinctive characteristics that set it apart from the rest of the country. The ferry is not just an alternative but a strategic tool that allows moving full FTL units between La Paz and the mainland without the need for transshipment. This reduces cargo handling and simplifies operations, especially for sensitive products such as perishable food or fragile equipment.

We also offer container chassis transport for cargo arriving or departing in maritime containers that need overland distribution, as well as tankers for industrial liquid transport and hoppers for mineral or agricultural bulk cargo.

If your company operates foreign trade flows to or from La Paz, at Control Terrestre we can structure a transport solution tailored to the specific conditions of peninsula logistics, with coverage across Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Central America.
