Customs and import context
Customs authority and filings
Imports are cleared by SENIAT (tax and customs authority). The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.
- Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.
Import taxes to expect by name: import duty and IVA. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.
Venezuela is subject to international sanctions measures. Screening is done before any assessment and many requests cannot be accepted.
Languages and documents
Official or main business languages: Spanish. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.
