USA, Canada & Mexico cross-border freight
MSA Logistics Group coordinates transportation inquiries for freight moving between the United States, Canada and Mexico. Share the full route, commodity and shipping schedule so the transportation and border handoffs can be reviewed before booking.
Plan the route and border handoffs together
A cross-border quote requires more than mileage. Origin and destination, equipment requirements, the intended crossing and customs arrangements all affect the transportation plan. Tell us who will handle customs clearance and whether your shipment has product-specific documentation or handling needs. Transportation coordination does not replace the work of your customs broker.
What to include in your quote request
- Full origin and destination addresses, including country and postal code
- Commodity description, piece count, dimensions, weight and shipment value
- Requested equipment and any temperature, tarp or loading requirements
- Customs broker contact and intended crossing, if already arranged
- Pickup and delivery windows and any transfer or unloading requirements
Nursery freight and specialized equipment
For plants, trees or other specialized freight, identify the exact commodity and discuss applicable documentation with your customs broker and relevant authorities before shipping. Include all delivery stops, product protection requirements and driver-assist needs. MSA reviews transportation options around those details; carrier availability and border arrangements must be confirmed for each load.
Common shipping questions
Can I request a U.S. to Canada freight quote?
Yes. Send the pickup and delivery addresses, shipment specifications, requested dates and customs broker details for review.
Can you review freight moving to or from Mexico?
Yes. Include both locations, the commodity, equipment needs and customs arrangements. The route and any carrier or equipment handoffs are reviewed before confirmation.
Does submitting a quote request arrange customs clearance?
No. Identify the party handling customs clearance when requesting transportation. Documentation and responsibilities must be coordinated before the shipment moves.
