The Benefits of Partnering with PTS Corp

1. Avoid Rising Tariff Costs

New tariffs can drive up costs for businesses using near-shoring strategies. These unexpected expenses add complexity to long-term planning. By choosing PTS Corp, your goods stay within the U.S., eliminating tariff-related risks and keeping pricing stable.

2. Immediate Compliance with U.S. Regulations

Stricter labor, environmental, and safety regulations increase compliance burdens for companies operating in Mexico. At PTS Corp, we handle all repairs and refurbishment services in full compliance with U.S. regulations, ensuring smooth operations without international oversight challenges.

3. No Supply Chain Disruptions

Tariffs and shifting trade policies can lead to longer lead times, customs bottlenecks, and unexpected shipping costs. By working with a U.S.-based reverse logistics partner like PTS Corp, your business benefits from faster turnaround times, reduced transit risks, and seamless processing without customs delays.

4. Cost-Effective On-Shoring

While labor costs in Mexico may seem lower, hidden expenses—such as tariffs, customs fees, and unpredictable delays—often erase these savings. PTS Corp provides a cost-effective, stable alternative by keeping operations domestic, allowing businesses to maintain budget predictability and operational efficiency.
