August 4, 2020 - Buckland Mexico is following all health and safety recommendations from Mexican authorities related to the COVID-19 pandemic. All of our personnel and staff have been trained on safety protocols, wear masks, practice social distancing, engage in shift rotation and daily tracking. An important portion of the training includes the understanding of third party protocols to respect guidelines and safety controls.
Terminal ports and warehouse facilities in Airports require additional steps in order to complete inspection prior customs clearance and maneuvers at the airport that could result in an increase of time of processing shipments.
As the situation evolves we encourage all Mexican Importers of Record to continue taking precautions and adhere to the Airport and Ocean Port offices cutoff time of 13:00 CST to process priority Air shipments the same day and minimize risks to ensure customs clearance.
