Gateway Airport project would open up business to Mexico
by Wayne Schutsky | East Valley Tribune
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is working with a private Mexican developer to create a 360-acre mixed-use business park adjacent to the airport that could turn into a preeminent destination for American exporters by bringing Mexican customs officers to the East Valley.
Those officers would pre-clear American cargo bound for Mexico – a draw for American companies that do business in Mexico.
Currently, only select airports in Mexico have customs officers on hand to inspect incoming goods, which restricts the number of airports American businesses can use when shipping goods into the country.
