TransBorder

TransBorder is an all-rail, seamless option, offering Intermodal service between the U.S. and Canada and major Mexican markets through collaboration with Kansas City Southern Mexico. With TransBorder, shipments do not stop at the border for Customs clearance, instead, they travel in-bond, clearing Customs at interior Mexican origins and destinations. TransBorder offers a bundled through-rate structure that includes fuel surcharge, providing customers the convenience of a single price and a single bill for their ramp-to-ramp shipments to and from Mexico.
