Passport

The Union Pacific Passport product is a seamless rail-truck ramp-to-door/door-to-ramp service in EMP's and rail trailers between specific U.S./Canadian ramps and major Mexico markets via the Laredo gateway. Coordination of the delivery and pick-up in Mexico is arranged by UP Carrier Services (UPCS) with an Authorized Mexican Motor Carrier (AMMC). Passport simply means that a shipment is required to de-ramp at the border and present documentation to clear Customs before moving across the border. All trailer traffic originating on either the UP or the TFM destined for either CN or CPRS destinations will be handled on a Rule 11 basis.

We have created Northbound and Southbound Passport process flow charts to help you manage the product. If at any time in the process you need assistance, we have a team of Regional Sales Managers available to answer your questions. Or try our comprehensive list of FAQs (requires MyUPRR registration) or Mexico Glossary for answers to almost any question you may have.
