Note:
A Cross Border Trade - Middle Mile shipment refers to the international transportation of packages, or groups of packages (known as Handling Units – HUs), from a Mercado Libre fulfillment center (FC) in the origin country to different destiny sites.

This segment of the logistics process can occur via ground or air transportation and represents the movement between countries prior to the final distribution of the packages within the destination country.
