Delays upon the customs system between Mexico and the United States have been caused by computer errors. Specifically, actual truck traffic has been totally slowed down at varied ports of entry in California and Texas. The Customs operating system at the ANAM or the Mexican National Customs Agency has been experiencing various issues. All at the hands of the computer viruses that plague the system. Every operation at the bridge had been suspended by Wednesday by ANAM, as it would all connect between the World Trade Bridge in Laredo Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

In general, the World Trade Bridge can move about 16,000 to 18,000 trucks daily. Cargo trucks that go over to Mexico had been totally affected by ANAM’s very own custom system failures over at the international crossing of Otay Mesa, California, in addition to El Paso and Pharr, Texas.

Trucks moving in on the Northbound from Mexico towards the United States had bene directly affected by ANAM’s very own custom system failures, through international crossings in Otay not been affected by the customs computer outages.

Of course, the World Trade Bridge had been reopened by Thursday morning by Mexican customs officials who themselves had been able to report how the issue at hand came from the problem of the computer software designed to validate import and export requests.

Cargo traffic from trade officials is showing for a slow return to normal as the U.S. Mexico crossings get similarly affected by system issues, all while the backlog of freight would wait at the border to cause millions of dollars in deserted revenue for the cross-border freight industry.

Delgado, the official for Mexico’s National Chamber of Cargo Transportation showed, all as the backlog of trucks would cause nearly as much as $23 million a day through the trade industry.
