Mexico, Brazil and the Caribbean from one hub

Several markets, one platform

Treating Latin America as one market is the first mistake. Mexico is a manufacturing and consumer economy tied to the United States. Brazil is a continent of its own with its own language. The Caribbean is a set of islands served largely by sea from Florida.

Why Miami still makes sense

Because the people who run these markets pass through Miami, because the cargo does, and because a bonded warehouse here lets one inventory serve all of them without paying U.S. duty on goods that leave again.

Three bases

Our presence follows the map: Miami for the United States, Canada and the Caribbean; an operating base in Mexico for Mexico and Central America; an operating base in Brazil for Brazil and the wider region. Each base has local people and local relationships.

Sequencing an expansion

Start where your category already has demand and a channel you can reach. Use Miami for stock and for the meetings. Add the second market when the first is producing repeat orders, not before.
