Pack it, Rack it, Sell it, and Ship it
Whether by land, air, or sea, Texas offers an impressive array of logistical and distribution channels to move goods around the country and the world. Our central position in the continent’s road and rail grid, many seaports, and a long border with Mexico all have helped Texas become a hub for international trade and the nation’s top exporting state for 17 consecutive years. Laredo’s five border crossings, including four vehicular bridges and one rail bridge, together represent the most economically important of 11 ports of entry along Texas’ 1,254-mile-long border with Mexico, America’s second-largest trading partner after China.
