Trade Agreements and Regulatory Framework

Trade between Quebec and Mexico is governed under the CUSMA/USMCA (Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement), which ensures preferential tariffs, harmonized rules of origin, and streamlined customs procedures. For shippers, this means greater predictability, reduced costs, and faster border crossings—critical factors in just-in-time supply chains.

Additionally, both countries align with international regulations, including customs security programs like C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and PIP (Partners in Protection), which facilitate trusted trade corridors.

Bonded Shipments: A Strategic Advantage

Freight traveling between Québec and Mexico often passes through the United States. In such cases, bonded shipments enable cargo to transit U.S. territory without paying duties or taxes, provided the freight remains sealed and meets regulatory requirements. Duties are then paid only when the shipment arrives at its final destination in Canada or Mexico. (Mexicom Logistics)
