Customs broker specialized in general cargo

Q: How much does a customs broker in Venezuela charge for an import?

It depends on your operation: the type of goods, the volume and the paperwork involved, so there is no single rate. What is fixed with us: the quote is free, arrives the same business day and itemizes fees and costs with no fine print, so you know the exact number before committing.

Q: What do I need to import goods into Venezuela?

Five documents are enough for a quote: commercial invoice, packing list, BL, freight value and product data sheet. Depending on the goods, additional permits may apply; we verify them for you at the time of your operation. The full process is in our guide on how to import goods into Venezuela.

General cargo travels packed or grouped into identifiable units, such as containers, pallets, boxes or crates. UNICA clears these imports through Venezuelan ports and prepares a complete quote based on five documents.

It is goods that travel packed and identified by units: full containers, pallets, boxes or packages. It is the most common type of cargo in foreign trade and differs from bulk, which travels loose in the vessel's holds.

Do I need a customs broker to import?

As a general rule, in Venezuela customs declarations and customs-regime procedures are handled through an authorized customs broker, as set out in the Customs Law (Ley Orgánica de Aduanas). The law provides specific exceptions, but an ordinary commercial general cargo import requires a broker. UNICA handles classification, permits, the declaration, inspection support and customs release; the carrier, consolidator, terminal and inland transporter have separate roles.
