Resin is one of the highest-volume products crossing between the United States and Mexico. It moves in large quantities, in several different forms, and almost always against the schedule of a plant that cannot stop. Eilan handles the customs clearance, the border crossing and the warehousing for resin and plastics through the Laredo–Nuevo Laredo corridor.
How Resin Arrives and How We Move It
- Bulk in hopper cars and hopper trailers, by rail or truck
- Super sacks and bagged resin on pallets
- Containers with liners, in from the port
- Virgin resin, compounds, masterbatch and recycled pellet
- Raw material for injection, blow molding, extrusion and film
What Usually Complicates a Resin Shipment
It is almost never customs itself. It is the detail beforehand:
- Tariff classification: the HTS heading changes with the polymer, the grade and the form. One mistake repeats on every shipment until someone catches it.
- Origin and USMCA: preferential treatment depends on documenting the origin of the polymer correctly.
- Volume: a single order can be dozens of loads. The logistics weigh as much as the entry itself.
- Plant timing: resin arrives when the line needs it, not when it suits the carrier.
Transload and Warehousing in Laredo
Not all resin crosses in the same equipment it arrived in. We coordinate transloading between U.S. and Mexican equipment, cross-docking, and storage at our Laredo warehouse so you can consolidate, split orders, or hold inventory near the border until your plant calls for it.
One Team, From the Plant to the Border
The same team that classifies and clears your freight coordinates the trucking and the warehousing. You are not translating between the customs broker, the carrier and the warehouse: one person knows where your resin is.
