We make
international trade
happen.
Customs broker and freight forwarder in a single team. We clear your goods and move them by sea, air and land to your warehouse door, with presence at customs offices across Honduras.
- One contact for freight and customs
- Presence at 14 customs offices
- Fully itemised quotes
Why Aduana Plus
Two trades almost no one combines, in a single team.
That combination is uncommon and changes the customer experience. The person who books your shipment is the one who prepares your declaration; the person tracking the vessel is the one waiting for the container at Puerto Cortés. There are no two companies passing responsibility back and forth, and no information lost between emails.

How we work
Four steps, no surprises in between.
The same procedure for a consolidated pallet and a project container. The complexity changes, not the way we work.
- 01
Tell us what you need to move
Goods, origin, destination and target date. That is enough to start; we gather the rest.
- 02
We quote with everything itemised
Freight, insurance, estimated duties, local charges and fees. The landed cost.
- 03
We move it and keep you posted
Booking, shipment and tracking. If anything changes en route, you hear it from us first.
- 04
We clear and deliver
Declaration ready before arrival, release and transport to your warehouse door.
Coverage
Representation across Honduras.
Presence at the three international airports, four seaports and all seven borders of the country. Wherever your cargo passes, one of our people is waiting for it.

Why Aduana Plus
What changes when freight and customs go together.
Two roles, one team
Freight forwarder and customs broker under one roof. Your shipment and your declaration are handled by the same person, with the same file.
Presence where cargo moves
Presence at the ports, the airports and all seven borders of the country. No one waits for an agent to drive in from the capital.
Numbers before promises
We quote the landed cost with estimated duties and every concept. The final figure, not the hook.
You hear it from us first
If a vessel is late, a regulation changes or an inspection is scheduled, you hear it from us before it affects your operation.
Frequently asked questions
Before we start, let’s clear up your questions.
Do I need to know which service I want before asking for a quote?
No. Tell us what you want to move, from where, to where and when. We turn that need into a proposal: transport, customs or both.
What does the quote include?
Every concept: freight, surcharges, insurance if requested, estimated duties based on tariff classification, port or airport charges, brokerage fees and inland transport. It is the landed cost, not just the freight.
What duties does an import pay in Honduras?
Mainly the Import Duty (DAI), which depends on the tariff line and can be reduced or eliminated under a treaty, and the 15% Sales Tax (ISV). Some products also pay specific taxes. We explain it in our import duties guide.
Can you handle only customs if I already have a freight forwarder?
Yes. Many clients hire us only for customs clearance. We coordinate document hand-over and arrival notices with your freight forwarder.
Do you work with any origin?
We work with a network of correspondent agents at the main origins that import into Honduras: the United States, Asia, Europe, Mexico and Central America. If the origin is unusual, we verify it before quoting.
