What Mossa does

Mossa is a Mexican logistics and supply chain services company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. The company's core business is customs brokerage (Despacho Aduanal), with operations covering 14 Mexican customs ports spanning the northern border, Pacific coast, and central Mexico, complemented by American customs broker services across 10 South Texas locations. Beyond customs clearance, Mossa offers an integrated portfolio of transportation logistics (maritime, land, and air freight), national and fiscal warehousing across a 7-facility network totaling over 55,600 m2, cargo insurance, and customs compliance consulting targeting importers, exporters, and IMMEX/PROSEC program participants engaged in Mexico-US cross-border trade.

The company operates with two structural differentiators: an in-house legal department providing customs and foreign trade advisory, and a proprietary IT department that has developed specialized systems for managing Anexos 24 and 31 regulatory attachments and integrating with VUCEM (Mexico's Single Window for Foreign Trade). Additional capabilities include a 9-workshop foreign trade training program, ISO 28000-aligned supply chain security procedures, cloud-based real-time documentation visibility for clients, and dedicated in-plant customs personnel for high-volume accounts.

Mossa's business model is built on direct B2B enterprise sales with dedicated account management, charging transaction fees for customs clearance and transportation services, storage and handling fees for warehousing, commissions on cargo insurance, and professional services fees for compliance consulting. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and operates founder/owner-style with minimal digital marketing presence.
