In 1942, our family registered a customs house in Nogales, Sonora — at what was then, and remains today, one of the busiest commercial gateways in North America. The first Mexican customs patent in the family was issued in 1971. The second, in 1994. The fourth-generation patent was granted in 2013, placing the firm among only five customs agencies in Mexico to operate continuously across four licensed generations.
Over those eight decades, the network expanded out of Nogales into every part of Mexico that mattered to global trade — Hermosillo, Guadalajara, Manzanillo, Mexico City, Tijuana, Monterrey, Veracruz, Altamira, Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo, and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport, among others. A U.S. brokerage was established in 2006, allowing dispatches across the United States. A global pre-shipment inspection capability was built starting in 2018 and now spans the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The firm’s principal served as National President of CAAAREM, Mexico’s federation of customs broker associations, and has held a permanent seat in the Cuarto de Junto — the private-sector advisory body that participates in Mexican trade negotiations — for the duration of the T-MEC era.
XPEDX is the next chapter of that story. Founded in 2026 by a fourth-generation member of the family and a U.S. Licensed Customs Broker, XPEDX consolidates eight decades of customs operating discipline, the proprietary PULCE® trade management platform, and a continental footprint of 35 Mexican ports of entry and nationwide U.S. dispatch authority into a single, unified commercial brand. Approximately 5% of all U.S.–Mexico trade now moves through this network.
Our infrastructure spans land, air, and ocean. Our technology — PULCE® — runs in production with multinational importers today. Our team holds the licenses, certifications, and operating authorities that regulated trade demands: Licensed Customs Broker, ACE-certified filer, NCBFAA and CAAAREM members.
35 Mexican ports of entry covering every land border, both coasts, every major industrial hub, and the country's primary air cargo terminals. Nationwide U.S. customs dispatch authority through our licensed brokerage, with ACE filing across all entry types.
The enterprise trade management platform that runs underneath every XPEDX engagement — ERP integration with SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, real-time shipment tracking, classification management, KPI dashboards, and audit-grade record retention. In production today.
Global inspection network spanning the Americas, Asia, and Europe — 30+ countries — with photographic chain-of-custody documentation and customs compliance analysis on every report.
700,000+ square feet of bonded and non-bonded warehousing across the U.S. and Mexico, with a 4PL distribution network reaching 26 U.S. metropolitan markets in 1–2 days.
A growing network of independent customs brokers operating under the XPEDX framework — extending the network's reach while preserving local relationships and regional expertise.
We file right the first time. Customs errors compound — delays, penalties, audits, lost preferential treatment, supply-chain disruption. Precision isn't the goal. It's the floor.
A licensed broker signs every U.S. entry. A licensed agente aduanal signs every Mexican pedimento. Every decision carries a name and a license number. We don't outsource accountability to subcontractors or anonymous filers.
Most logistics companies are younger than the contracts they sign. We are older than NAFTA, older than USMCA, older than the modern Mexican customs system itself. Continuity is what lets a customs operation file the same way under five generations of trade policy.
XPEDX is a licensed, independent customs brokerage. Our advice is not influenced by carrier kickbacks, asset-based bias, or vendor lock-in. We work for the importer.
Víctor André is a U.S. Licensed Customs Broker and the founder of XPEDX. He is also Managing Partner of Grupo Gamas, the fourth-generation, 84-year-old customs and supply-chain operation that constitutes the Mexican substrate of the XPEDX network. He founded XPEDX in 2026 to bring the operating discipline of a legacy customs house and the technology of a modern trade platform into a single licensed U.S. brokerage on the largest trade corridor in the world.
In Mexico, Víctor sits on the Cuarto de Junto of the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial (CCE), the private-sector body that advises the Mexican federal government on trade negotiations. He serves as Director of COMCE Sonora, representing more than 2,000 Mexican exporters before public and private institutions, and as President of the Patronato of the Universidad Tecnológica de Nogales, Sonora. He is a board member of the Kino Border Initiative and serves on the Advisory Council of the US-Mexico Foundation, the binational nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C., dedicated to deepening cooperation between the two countries.
Earlier in his career, Víctor served in the office of U.S. Senator John McCain, the NAFTA/USMCA Office of the Embassy of Mexico in Washington, the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund, and the North America practice of McLarty Associates, the corporate diplomacy firm founded by President Clinton’s former White House Chief of Staff.
Víctor holds a B.S. in International Business from Georgetown University, an MBA from Boston College, and a certificate in Urban Economic Development from the London School of Economics. He is bilingual in English and Spanish and is licensed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Víctor Hugo is the third-generation principal of the family customs operation and the architect of the network on which XPEDX is built. He has held Mexican Customs Patente 1256 (Authorization 3711) since 1994, with operating authority across Nogales, Guadalajara, Manzanillo, and Nuevo Laredo, and he serves as Managing Partner of Grupo Gamas — the customs and supply-chain enterprise founded by his family in 1942.
Víctor Hugo served as National President of CAAAREM, the Confederación de Asociaciones de Agentes Aduanales de la República Mexicana, from 2013 to 2015 — the highest elected position in Mexican customs brokerage and the equivalent of the U.S. NCBFAA presidency. He previously served as National First Vice President of CAAAREM (2011–2013) and National Vice President (2005–2007). He is the Founding President of the Consejo Empresarial Mexicano del Comercio Exterior, Inversión y Tecnología (COMCE) Sonora, a position he has held since 2015, and he was Founding President of the Consejo Empresarial de Nogales (2005–2011) and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nogales (2009–2015). He sits on the Cuarto de Junto of the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial for the negotiation, implementation, and ongoing evaluation of T-MEC and Mexico’s other free trade agreements.
Under his leadership, the network expanded from a single Nogales office into operations across more than twenty Mexican cities, established a U.S. brokerage capability in 2006, built a global pre-shipment inspection network beginning in 2018, and integrated into Grupo Xinergia in 2023. He has served as President of the Asociación de Agentes Aduanales de Nogales and is among the most senior elected leaders in the modern history of Mexican customs.
