CBP and Mexico's Agencia Nacional de Aduanas de México announced the completion of Operation Trade Bridge, a joint trade-enforcement operation conducted October 19-23, 2026, at the Otay Mesa Cargo Export facility, focused on in-bond shipments moving between the United States and Mexico, particularly high-value electronics and textiles. The task force and ANAM jointly offloaded and inspected 80% of the targeted shipments, and CBP identified concerns involving declared value, Harmonized Tariff Schedule classifications, merchandise descriptions, quantities, and country-of-origin information. Enforcement targeted potential transshipment, undervaluation, inaccurate country-of-origin claims, and customs-documentation discrepancies, and CBP says several matters remain under review based on preliminary findings.
