The nearshoring case, in five points.

Duty-free access for qualifying goods — no tariff exposure like the kind that comes with sourcing from Asia.

1–5 days by truck to most U.S. and Canadian destinations, versus 4–6 weeks by ocean freight.

Same or adjacent time zones as the U.S. and Canada — real-time calls, not overnight email loops.

A deep metal-mechanical cluster across Northeast Mexico, built on decades of automotive and industrial supply chains.

Competitive labor and production costs, without the lead times and IP exposure that come with sourcing overseas.
