Customs simplifies export procedures for SMEs

Dear industrialists,

We want to inform you that the General Directorate of Customs (DGA) optimized the operation of the platform that facilitates exports to entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized companies. With the changes introduced, processes are simplified while enhancing customs inspection and control of foreign trade operations. 

The new version of Exporta Simple 2.0 is the result of joint work with the Ministry of Productive Development and has been available since November 1st. The main changes are related to the simplification in the preparation of the foreign sales invoice, which will now be managed by the exporter himself without the need to resort to a logistics operator.

Likewise, the modifications allow greater participation of log&iacu operatorstheses with the entry of new actors so that exporters have greater diversity in their choice.

When carrying out an export through the Exporta Simple 2.0 platform, the portal will issue the new "Simplified Export Document" (DES), which will replace the proforma invoice.

More than 2,600 users already use the small and medium-sized business export simplification tool. Sales operations abroad were made for an average of $2,810 each and weighing 37.5 kilos. There are more than 120 export destinations through this regime, with sales predominating to the United States, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico and Peru.
