El Paso is the second-busiest commercial land gateway in Texas, paired across the river with Ciudad Juárez. Eilan Trade Solutions clears at El Paso and at Ciudad Juárez, filing the U.S. entry and the Mexican pedimento on the same shipment. Clearing shipments since 1994.
Where this fits. Our main operation is the Laredo and Nuevo Laredo corridor, and that is where most of our volume crosses. We also clear at El Paso and Ciudad Juárez when a lane calls for it. If your regular traffic crosses further east, start with Laredo and Nuevo Laredo.
What moves through El Paso
The El Paso and Ciudad Juárez corridor is built around manufacturing. Electronics, medical devices, automotive components, appliances and machinery move both directions, much of it under Mexico’s IMMEX programme as temporary imports of raw material and components that return north as finished goods. Commercial traffic runs mainly through the Ysleta and Zaragoza crossing and the Bridge of the Americas.
What we do at this gateway
- U.S. entry filing and Mexican pedimento on the same shipment, from one team
- Tariff classification and duty treatment, including USMCA claims where the goods qualify
- IMMEX and temporary import regimes for manufacturing operations
- Permits and other-agency requirements: FDA, USDA, EPA and DOT in the U.S.; SENASICA, COFEPRIS and the sector registries in Mexico
- Hazardous materials, with the classification, documentation and placarding they require
- In-bond movements created, cleared at destination and cancelled when the routing changes
Why one broker across both sides matters here
Manufacturing traffic is repetitive, which means a classification mistake is not a one-off, it repeats on every shipment until somebody questions it. When the same team handles the export and the import side, the classification, the valuation and the IMMEX treatment stay consistent in both countries, and a hold is worked by the people who filed it rather than passed between two companies that each blame the other.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have to be in El Paso to clear there?
No. Customs entries are filed electronically, so what matters is that the broker is authorised to file at that port and knows the traffic. Our largest operation is in Laredo, and we clear at El Paso and Ciudad Juárez as part of a network of twenty-seven points of entry.
Can you handle IMMEX traffic through Ciudad Juárez?
Yes. We handle temporary imports of machinery, raw material and components under IMMEX, and the export of finished goods, coordinating the classification and the documentation on both sides.
Can you take just our El Paso lane?
Yes. An importer can authorise more than one broker, so you can give us one lane or one port and keep your current arrangement everywhere else.
