Oh yes, first official checkpoint on the Nafta highway will be in KC.

“American customs officials will inspect cargo in Mexico, before it crosses the border. Just like now.”

First official checkpoint on the Nafta highway will nevertheless, be in KC.

Spin little “free trader”, spin.

As long as the cargo is inspected before it crosses the border.....

Worse yet, it will be a joint US/Mexico Customs facility and the Mexican customs office will not be subject to US laws. Obviously there is a U.S. Sovereignty problem and that plan has not been fully approved, only proposed.

Incoming cargo, mostly from Asia, will hit North America in Mexico and be subject to Mexican Customs. Currently, the docks and facilities where the incoming cargo hits Mexico are being funded and set up by a Hong-Kong shipper.

According to press reports, there will be an inspection done at the US border by Homeland Security. Historically, they spot check and rely on Mexican Customs.
