At the end of October we made a trip to Mexico to strengthen relations with our agents. We also visited Mexican clients and importers to whom we offer our agent services in Spain. Services that appreciate when they have shipments to or from our country, since we take charge of import operations. We manage the arrival of the goods, customs clearance and delivery at the final destination. When we dispatch the export, we coordinate the loading of the merchandise with the exporter/shipper and we take care of the export customs clearance, as well as the shipping formalities either by sea or air.
