This is not a problem.

Freight costs have been increased to better reflect reality:
- source and destination are in the same country’s regions : $600/ton
- same countries : $1’200/ton
- different countries, same world regions : $2’400/ton
- different world regions : $3’600/ton

Previous freight costs were unrealistic.

I am having a problem with products that cross the US/Mexico border being charged the 3600/ton rather than 2400/ton.

US and Mexico are not in the same world zone.

Ah ok. I was using the in-game world map, thinking that the highlighted regions would be together. Thanks for the link.
