Don't let a missing document
strand your truck at the border.
The one-page checklist for moving oversize and heavy freight across the US–Mexico line: every commercial document, customs instrument, and permit you need on both sides — plus the avoidable mistakes that turn a 2-hour crossing into a 2-day hold. Built by a brokerage that runs the lane every week.
What's inside
Four sections. Everything that has to be right before the load rolls.
01
Core commercial documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, BOL, and the USMCA Certificate of Origin — and the fields that have to match line-for-line or the load sits.
02
Customs & carrier clearance
Brokers on both sides, the customs bond, the pedimento, importer of record, and the C-TPAT/OEA status that speeds the lane.
03
Oversize / heavy-haul permits
US state OD permits, Mexico's SICT oversize permit, escort plans on each side, and the route survey triggers for superload weight or height.
04
Common rejection triggers
The six avoidable mistakes — mismatched values, wrong HS codes, expired permit windows — that turn a 2-hour crossing into a 2-day hold.

Who is this checklist for?
Shippers, plant and project managers, and logistics buyers moving equipment, machinery, or oversize freight between the US and Mexico — especially anyone running their first few cross-border heavy-haul loads where a missing document means a held truck and demurrage.
Can LASLINT just handle the cross-border move for me?
That's the idea. The checklist shows what has to be right; LASLINT lines all of it up — brokers on both sides, permits, escorts, USMCA paperwork — and quotes the lane all-in with permits and escort costs priced in. Send the lane to Lia for a 30-second read, or call dispatch.
