FREIGHT forwarder dimerco is offering a China to Mexico bonded air-sea service through the US, looking to meet a lack of direct freight flights on the route, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The new service uses air freight from China to Los Angeles or Dallas with cross-border trucking to transport the cargo to international cargo airports in Mexico.
Dimerco declared that operations in North America rely on rapid replenishment of component parts from China, with standard shipping being flawed.
The service will target high-value components and offer transport times of six-eight days.
'While this transshipment solution via the US increases transit time by two to three days compared to direct airfreight service, it is 30-40 per cent cheaper and is a practical response to the near absence of direct air freight shipping from China to Mexico,' said Dimerco.
