As nearshoring continues to reshape North American supply chains, freight volumes moving between the United States and Mexico are increasing at unprecedented levels. While the opportunities are significant, so are the risks—ranging from cargo theft and fraud to customs delays, insurance gaps, and carrier vetting challenges.

This workshop will move beyond high-level discussions and focus on the operational realities of cross-border transportation. Participants will gain practical insight into how nearshoring impacts risk exposure, compliance requirements, and supply chain continuity. Real-world case studies will illustrate common pitfalls and emerging threats, along with proven strategies to mitigate them.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to safely expand cross-border operations while maintaining compliance, protecting cargo, and minimizing costly disruptions.

Key Learning Objectives

• Identify emerging risks associated with nearshoring and cross-border freight
• Understand customs, documentation, and compliance vulnerabilities
• Evaluate carrier vetting challenges unique to Mexico operations
• Recognize insurance and liability gaps in cross-border logistics
