Export and Import Freight en Veracruz

Veracruz is the most important port on the Gulf of Mexico and one of the logistics nodes with the highest volume of foreign trade in the country. Its strategic location connects it directly to maritime routes to Europe, Asia, South America, and the east coast of the United States, making it a natural point of origin and destination for land-based import and export operations. At Control Terrestre, we operate export and import freight services in Veracruz with the infrastructure, certifications, and experience this corridor demands.

We are a freight forwarder in Mexico and an authorized carrier in the United States, allowing us to coordinate full truckload (FTL) movements from the port of Veracruz to industrial plants, distribution centers, and border crossings in both countries. This dual role gives us direct control over the transportation chain, eliminating intermediaries and maintaining traceability of each shipment from origin to final destination.

Our fleet and network of associated units include 48- and 53-foot dry and refrigerated vans, container chassis, tankers, flatbeds, curtainside trailers, tortons, and hopper trailers. This diversity of equipment is essential in a port like Veracruz, where the cargo being moved ranges from maritime containers requiring container chassis for the inland intermodal leg, to petrochemical products in tankers, agricultural bulk in hopper trailers, and general merchandise in dry or curtainside vans.

The container drayage service deserves particular attention in Veracruz. The constant flow of containers arriving by sea needs coordinated ground transportation to complete the port-to-plant or port-to-border leg. We operate these intermodal movements with dedicated equipment, ensuring that containerized cargo maintains its integrity from the port terminal to its destination without the need for transloading.

The Veracruz petrochemical corridor, which includes the industrial complexes of Coatzacoalcos, Minatitlán, and the port's metropolitan area, generates a constant flow of chemical products and petroleum derivatives that are exported and imported by land. We have the certifications and protocols to handle this type of cargo: C-TPAT, FAST, BASC, Transporte Limpio, Responsible Care, and Recurso Confiable. This set of accreditations not only meets the regulatory requirements of Mexico and the United States, but also responds to the safety, traceability, and environmental responsibility standards demanded by the chemical industry and international supply chains.

The agro-industry in Veracruz also depends on efficient export transportation. Coffee, sugar, citrus, and other agricultural products leave Veracruz for international markets, and many of these shipments require cold chain or specific handling conditions. Our 48- and 53-foot refrigerated units are prepared to maintain the temperature conditions each product needs throughout the entire journey.

We operate under a full truckload model exclusively. Each unit is assigned to a single client and a single shipment, which eliminates cross-contamination risks, simplifies customs documentation, and allows greater flexibility in loading and unloading schedules. For foreign trade operations, where port times and customs procedures are variables, this exclusive dedication is essential.

If your foreign trade operation passes through Veracruz, whether importing from overseas or exporting to North America and other markets, at Control Terrestre we have the equipment, certifications, and operational experience to move your full truckload with the seriousness that the Gulf of Mexico's most active port corridor requires.
