El Salvador Customs informed that the Advance Customs Declaration has been implemented at all border points between El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. This advance is part of a regional effort to facilitate trade and modernize customs processes. This initiative seeks to simplify and streamline procedures for exporters and importers, promoting greater efficiency in trade transactions.
One of the main benefits of this new modality is the possibility of carrying out procedures electronically. This allows users to send and authorize documents, as well as make tax payments more quickly and conveniently. The digitalization of the process reduces the need for physical travel and minimizes the risk of errors, thus optimizing the time spent on each transaction.
In addition, the Advance Customs Declaration offers a significant reduction in response times for Foreign Trade Single Windows and customs authorities. This improvement in processing speed contributes to smoother export logistics, which in turn lowers operating costs for companies. The agility in document management and compliance with requirements facilitates cross-border trade and strengthens the competitiveness of exporters and importers.
Another highlight is the 24/7 availability of the service throughout the year. This flexibility allows users to manage their advance declarations from anywhere in the world at any time, adapting to different time zones and operational needs. Continuous accessibility represents a significant advantage, especially for businesses operating in international markets.
The implementation of the Advance Goods Declaration represents a crucial step in the process of Deep Integration between El Salvador and Honduras, in line with the National Trade Facilitation Strategy 2023-2027 and the National Trade Facilitation Plan. This advance not only improves efficiency in trade operations, but also contributes to the strengthening of economic relations and regional cooperation in the area of trade.
