Time-Saving Tips to Ship By The primary reason for border delays and additional charges on cross-border shipments is incomplete or missing paperwork. Here are some tips for speeding your shipment across the border.
OBTAIN ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION
Verify the name, address and telephone number of the U.S. forwarding agent in Laredo, Texas, or El Paso, Texas. Also, verify the name, address and phone number of the Mexican broker in Nuevo Laredo or Juarez who will coordinate the movement of the shipment. YRC will also need the name, address, telephone number and tax identification (RFC) number of the consignee in Mexico. List the above information and your name address, and telephone number, as the shipper, on the bill of lading.
COMPLETE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS
Many Mexican communities bear the same name, but are in different states, just as in the United States—Springfield, for example. For a timely delivery, correctly spell the full name of the destination city and include the state and postal code on the bill of lading. Access the YRC forms library to obtain and complete a bill of lading and commercial invoice in one easy step or register for my.yrc.com to complete a Bill of Lading, using our online tool. If the shipment originates in Mexico, the exporter (shipper) must complete a Mexican bill of lading and commercial invoice. A certificate of origin document might be required; check with your Customs broker to ensure you have all necessary documentation. Keep a copy of the shipping papers and give the originals to your YRC driver.
PACK AND LABEL SHIPMENTS CAREFULLY
List any special handling or delivery instructions.
