Mexican ports and border gateways

Choosing the right Mexican gateway is half the battle in planning an inbound shipment. The Pacific ports (Manzanillo, Lazaro Cardenas) serve Asia-origin freight; the Gulf ports (Veracruz, Altamira) serve Europe and the US Gulf; and the Laredo border crossing handles the massive USA–Mexico truck flow.

Each gateway below covers what it handles best, how it connects inland, and when to choose it over the alternatives.
