hidden intermediaries, foreign trade merchandise transport, increased service costs, concomitant positive aspectsAbstract
The objective of this article is to determine the implications of the existence of hidden intermediaries in the transfer of foreign trade goods; it is based on the theory of outsourcing. The information that supports the research was obtained through a survey, applied to the 35 transport companies in Manzanillo. The existence of hidden intermediaries is a reality that cannot be denied; although it could imply the increase in the price of implied service, it
is an additional cost that the market in general can absorb. Eventually, all those involved in operations with hidden intermediaries obtain a benefit: the importer obtains the necessary transport for his goods, the first-contact auto transporter obtains an income, and the hidden intermediary obtains another.
