According to the February 6th issue of the USAPEEC MondayLine egg and chicken shipments to Mexico are impeded by intensified review of export documentation to ensure that consignments are not derived from areas embargoed as a result of highly pathogenic avian influenza. This has resulted in delays at all border crossings imposing additional costs including demurrage.
The USAPEEC is negotiating with the Customs Administration of Mexico to devise new procedures to expedite transfer.
