Export and import freight en Mérida

Mérida has established itself as the main logistics hub of the Yucatán Peninsula, a region with constantly growing international commercial activity. The combination of a diversified agroindustry, export-oriented manufacturing plants, and sustained demand for imported inputs for sectors such as tourism and the pharmaceutical industry makes this city a strategic point for export and import freight operations. From Control Terrestre, we coordinate full truckload ground transportation for companies that need to move goods between Mérida, the main national corridors, and international destinations in North America and Central America.

Mérida's proximity to the port of Progreso, just 36 kilometers away, defines much of the area's commercial dynamics. This port serves as an entry and exit point for containerized cargo, general merchandise, and bulk products connecting Yucatán to international markets. Coordinating ground transportation between the exporter's or importer's facilities and the port requires precise planning, appropriate equipment, and a deep understanding of regional logistics flows. Our export and import freight service in Mérida is designed precisely to address that need.

Yucatán is nationally recognized as the leading exporter of honey, as well as a significant producer of pork, poultry products, citrus, and seafood. These industries generate constant volumes of cargo that require specific transportation conditions, particularly when dealing with perishable or high-value products. At the same time, manufacturing activity in sectors such as textile assembly, maquila, and the pharmaceutical industry drives regular exports to the United States and other destinations. In the reverse direction, tourism demand in Quintana Roo and the peninsula's industrial growth generate a continuous flow of imports arriving through Progreso or through land corridors from the center of the country.

At Control Terrestre, we operate as transportation intermediaries through a network of certified carriers, allowing us to offer full truckload (FTL) solutions with the flexibility and backing that international trade demands. We coordinate plant pickup, transportation to ports, borders, or distribution centers, and delivery at destination. Our coverage includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Central America, enabling us to manage both export and import movements through a single point of contact.

For foreign trade operations, the certifications of our associated carriers are especially relevant. Having suppliers that maintain accreditations such as C-TPAT, FAST, BASC, Transporte Limpio, Responsible Care, and Recurso Confiable facilitates border crossing processes and provides an additional level of security and traceability to each shipment. This is particularly valuable for companies managing regulated supply chains or exporting to markets with strict compliance requirements.

We have a wide range of specialized equipment to cover the various needs of international trade from Mérida: 48- and 53-foot dry and refrigerated vans in full and tandem configurations, container chassis for maritime cargo, flatbeds for oversized freight, curtainside trailers, tankers for liquids, tortons for regional distribution, and hopper trailers for bulk goods. This variety allows us to adapt each service to the type of product, volume, and specific route of each operation.

In addition to export and import services, at Control Terrestre we offer complementary solutions such as refrigerated transportation for the cold chain of perishable products, raw material transportation for industrial inputs, and dedicated freight for operations with regular frequency. This comprehensive capability allows you to consolidate your company's logistics needs with a single coordinator.
