I would suggest that, transportation costs are a factor....12 hr. drive from anywhere in Mexico, puts your finished product in the US.. no need to ship in large qualities...as would be required if using sea shipping from China...then add some dock side charges....

Also, international shipping has exploded so much that port facilities are strained, and there are limits to how much ports can handle. Trade has dropped off somewhat recently, but it is an advantage that Mexico does not need to ship through a port facility in order to ship to the US and Canada.
