Permits and special regimes
We handle prior permits (SENASA, ARSA, OIRSA) and operate regimes such as temporary import, free zone and bonded warehouse so the tax benefit does not turn into a problem.
Many goods do not enter with just the invoice and the declaration: food, medicines, cosmetics, products of animal or plant origin and regulated equipment need a prior permit processed before another institution which, if missing, stops the cargo at customs.
And many companies pay duties they could defer or avoid: machinery that enters for a project and leaves again, raw materials for export, goods stored without being cleared. Special regimes exist for that, but they demand strict documentary control, which we keep for you.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
How long does a prior permit take?
It varies by institution and product: from days for a phytosanitary permit to weeks for a new sanitary registration. That is why we process it before shipment and not once the cargo is already at customs.
