Mexico should be efficient and effortless.
With Old Dominion, it is. All of our partners

shipment with Mexican Customs. Together,
they make sure all documents are complete
and your shipment is ready to clear.
With Old Dominion, your rate estimates via
www.odfl.com are quick, accurate and
competitive. You’ll enjoy excellent transit
times between the continental United States
and Mexico, and satellite tracking ensures

Use the following sample and instructions when completing your combined BOL
and Mexico Customs Invoice form. For easier reference, it has been divided into
three color-coded sections: 1) address and contact information for all parties,
applicable terms and conditions, and special instructions (in red); 2) shipment
description, actual contents and respective weights and value (in blue); and 3)
optional sections regarding payment terms and required authorizations (in orange).
A. Information on Company or Person sending
the shipment.
B. Information on Mexico Customs Broker
handling the shipment. This detailed
information helps expedite border crossings.
C. Information on Company or Person receiving
the shipment. Ensure that the exact address
of Consignee is included.
D. Information on U.S. Freight Forwarder
handling the shipment (usually the same
as the Broker).
E. Indicate how your shipment is packaged
(bundle, carton, crate, drum, skid or other).
Enter layman’s description of item being
shipped, e.g. “Boxes of red electric relays.”
The customs tariff commodity code
classification will be determined from this
description. (Use additional forms if more
space is needed. Number each page at the
top right corner.)
F. Enter an “X” in the appropriate box.
Prepaid: Payment is collected from shipper
with their payment terms.
Collect: Payment is collected from consignee
with their payment terms.
G. Enter the total price paid or payable for

It is very important that the BOL include
the names of the freight forwarder and

your shipment will experience delays
at the border.
