Response time

Depends on origin

Inspections are scheduled based on location and availability at origin.

The times shown are for 36T’s response, assessment or quote. Execution time for each operation depends on origin, destination, type of goods, carrier availability, authorities and third parties involved.

Check your order before it ships.

If a problem with your order shows up once the goods are already in Mexico, fixing it costs more and takes longer. Inspecting at origin lets you catch it while the goods are still with your supplier.

Three ways to check your order.

  • Goods inspection

    We inspect your goods at origin.

  • Pre-shipment review

    We review your order before it’s shipped.

  • Production monitoring

    We follow the production of your order with the supplier.
