Re:	Cross-Andes pass closed today due to a new winter storm

Cross-Andes pass closed again, delay for Argentinean shipments via Chile

Be advised that the international tunnel between Argentina (Mendoza) and Chile has closed again today due to winter weather conditions and may incur delays on Argentinean shipments via Chile. Snow is expected again in the next few days and we are expecting only short periods of time this week where the road will be open for trucks. Note as part of winter road restrictions the tunnel will be closed nightly from 9pm to 9am.

We will continue provide updates on further developments. For status on any pending orders check with your operations representative at 732-388-0101 or login to AXIS for further detail.
