Manzanillo is Mexico's Pacific gateway. A large share of the container cargo arriving from Asia for Mexico and North America comes through it. Eilan has a dedicated team and office at the port, not a correspondent who handles your cargo when they can get to it.
Our Own Team at the Port
Having people in Manzanillo is not an administrative detail. It is the difference between hearing about a customs inspection the same day or three days later. Our team at the port follows every shipment directly: pre-inspections, document review, terminal coordination and clearance.
What We Move Through Manzanillo
- Full containers (FCL) and consolidated cargo (LCL)
- Machinery and industrial equipment
- Steel, pipe and sections
- Manufacturing inputs and components
- Project and oversized cargo
From the Port to Your Final Destination
Clearance is only half the job. We coordinate the move from Manzanillo to your plant, your warehouse or the border crossing: road, rail or combined. If your cargo continues into the United States, we move it through the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo corridor with the same people who cleared it at the port.
Why Having People at the Port Matters
- Demurrage and storage: every day at the terminal costs money. You avoid it by anticipating, not by claiming afterwards.
- Customs inspection: if your cargo is selected for inspection, somebody has to be there that same day.
- Documentation: most delays start with the paperwork, not with customs.
- One point of contact: you do not have to coordinate between three different providers.
