Mexico – Customs-Single Point of Contact (“Ventanilla Unica” or “VUCEM”)
The Mexican Customs and Foreign Trade Authorities are implementing changes to modify and simplify the customs process and have a paperless customs. These changes are mandatory and will be implemented from 1 June 2012.
VUCEM is divided in three main modules with the following functionality:
- Customs Single Point of Contact (VUCEM): Requesting health, agriculture, defense and other import and export licenses issued by the government.
- COVE Electronic Value Voucher (“Comprobante de valor electrónico” or “COVE”): Electronic filing of information that supports the value of the goods (e.g. invoice data), previous to the customs clearance.
- Digitization: Electronic filing and storage of digitalized documents required for the clearance of goods at customs (e.g. Certificates of Origin, customs value declarations, import/export licenses, etc.)
