• Abstract:
  This Guide describes both the logistics chain and steps that need to be taken to conduct business between the United States and Mexico along the sea corridor joining the ports of Houston, Texas and Veracruz in Mexico. To that end, the Guide is structured in three general sections. The first section provides an overview of Houston-Veracruz trade and describes the network of physical, commercial, and service infrastructure that exists in each port. The second section describes the logistics chain (southbound) along which goods move from the U.S. to Mexico through the Port of Houston, including a description of the steps involved in exporting to Mexico as well as the actors and services involved. The third section describes the chain (northbound) along which commodities are transported from Mexico to the U.S. through the Port of Veracruz, including a description of the steps involved in importing into the United States. It specifies the actors, services, and requirements for importing into the U.S. using the Houston-Veracruz trade corridor.
