Approximately 30% of the vegetables consumed by the United States in winter cross through Nogales. It is the most active commercial port of entry in western Mexico.
Nogales connects the agricultural production system of Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California with the markets of Phoenix, Los Angeles and the southern United States. It is the most important land port of entry in western Mexico and the second most active in the country by trade volume.
The corridor is not just a line. It is a system that includes two ports of entry (Mariposa commercial, DeConcini mixed), a strategic bonded warehouse, IMMEX operations in Nogales Sonora, and a regional hub in Hermosillo that acts as a consolidator for export shipments.
Estimated transit times excluding the border crossing. Average crossing at Mariposa ranges between 3 and 6 hours depending on shift, season and protocol.
Commercial port of entry dedicated to heavy freight and trucks. Operates 24/7 with FDA and CBP inspection. Optimal window: night shift for perishable freight bound for Phoenix.
Pedestrian and passenger port with limited lanes for light freight. Does not handle commercial trucks. Useful for document urgencies and express movement of samples.
