FREIGHT SHIPPING FROM CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN TO THE US

Since 1997, US imports from Latin America have tripled, despite the growing importance of China in international trade. Countries such as Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru or Uruguay are the source of key imports to the US providing agricultural raw materials, chemicals, food, petroleum, machinery and transport equipment, manufactured goods, ores and metals or textiles.

The bilateral free trade agreements signed with different Latin American countries have contributed to a sharp upswing in the US’s economy and a dynamic impact on its global supply chain. The soon to be signed free trade agreement between the US and Brazil, the two largest economies in the Western Hemisphere, is also expected to reduce red tape and costs to ship from Brazil to the USA.
