El Salvador and Nicaragua Customs to be Connected

The 541 companies in El Salvador currently exporting goods to Nicaragua will be the first to benefit from the connection of the two offices, which will expedite the process of obtaining permits and other paperwork.

The main promoter for this initiative in El Salvador has been the Center of Import and Export Procedures (CIEX), which launched the project in conjunction with customs authorities.

An article in Elmundo.com.sv notes: "the process records Salvadoran customs export transactions generated in the country, and automatically sends them electronically to the customs offices in Nicaragua, allowing the exporter to obtain joint authorizations from each of the entities through a single integrated process which takes approximately 30 seconds, said Jose Deras Cornelius, head of CIEX, in a statement released recently."
