Discussion of a system that tracks truck cargo using a specific seal developed by Kansas City-based BV Solutions Group Inc. ''The system is a component of a proposed Mexican customs clearing facility scheduled to open in May in Kansas City's West Bottoms industrial district.'' With implementation by KC SmartPort, a non-profit economic development group, this would establish Mexico's first clearinghouse on U.S. soil.
